A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Gallup, New Mexico.

You deserve choices, not pressure. This guide gathers places to ask about support, safety, basic needs, and one manageable next step—whether clutter affects you or someone you care about. A listing is a place to start, not a promise that a service is open or a fit. You can ask questions and decide what feels manageable; asking for help does not mean agreeing to a cleanout.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

A note from the Alliance

Start with the person. Then decide what the situation needs.

This guide is anchored in Gallup, New Mexico, 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.
