People first.Then the stuff.A Fight the Blight initiative

Start here - Fight the Blight

A gentle place to begin

If you are unsure what kind of help fits, start with a peer-support option or ask Uinta County Human Services what is current. You choose what to share and what happens next.

Fight the Blight offers virtual support groups for people affected by hoarding and clutter concerns. Call 724-739-3785 or use the contact form to ask about current group options and a respectful place to begin from Evanston or Uinta County. This is not emergency response or therapy.
