A private-pay pathway when grant-funded help is not available or is not the right fit. Ask what support is offered, what it costs, and what choice and pacing look like before making a plan.
A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
A next step can be small and still matter. Start with the person, then choose support that fits—without assuming a forced cleanout, a diagnosis, or one pathway for everyone.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Fight the Blight is the nonprofit front door for a first conversation and virtual peer-group information. You can ask what may fit without agreeing to a cleanout. Local services have different roles and eligibility rules; ask before sharing sensitive details or relying on a referral.
A place to start a conversation about hoarding-related needs and ask what nonprofit support or virtual peer groups may fit. Share only what feels comfortable; reaching out does not mean agreeing to a cleanout.
Role: nonprofit first-conversation and virtual peer-group front door; geography: remote—ask about Fairfield and Solano County access; cost/eligibility: confirm current group availability, access, and any fee; emergency limit: not crisis response, therapy, or emergency care

First conversations

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Fairfield, California, and includes city, county, state, nonprofit, national, and independent pathways. A listing here does not mean Fight the Blight endorses every provider or can guarantee availability. The Hoarding Alliance is not a city or county agency, therapy practice, emergency service, or cleanup company. We will keep reviewing this page, but please confirm details directly before relying on them.
