A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
A people-first place to begin—whether you are looking for support for yourself, worried about someone you love, or trying to respond to a safety, housing, care, or practical concern in Scott County.
Start here - Fight the Blight
You do not need to solve everything today. Start with the kind of support that fits: a confidential conversation, a local care intake, or help finding practical resources. Ask what is available, what it costs, and what information is needed before sharing more than you want to.
If you are unsure where to begin, Fight the Blight can be the first conversation about hoarding-related support and virtual peer groups. Share only what feels comfortable and decide together what next step, if any, fits.
Role: nonprofit hoarding-support and virtual-group front door; geography: ask about options serving Georgetown and Scott County; cost/eligibility: confirm current services and eligibility with the organization; emergency limit: not emergency response, crisis dispatch, or therapy.
For immediate danger, fire, or urgent medical help call 911. For a behavioral-health or suicide crisis, call or text 988. New Vista lists a Scott County crisis line at 800-928-8000; confirm the best local route. This guide is not an emergency service, clinical evaluation, or cleanup provider.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Georgetown, Kentucky, 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.
