A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
You can begin with what matters to you—a respectful conversation, more room to move, or help understanding local options. Support should move at your pace and respect your choices and the meaning your belongings hold.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Fight the Blight is the nonprofit front door and offers virtual peer-support groups; ask about current fit and capacity from Grantsville or elsewhere. The Peer Tree is a separate private-pay pathway; confirm service area and fees. Unburied is digital peer support for people and supporters, not therapy or emergency support. Local listings are independent options, not endorsements; confirm current access, eligibility, cost, and fit directly.
For immediate danger, fire, or urgent medical response, call 911. For urgent emotional distress or behavioral-health crisis support, call or text 988 or Help4WV. Survivor-support services are separate; use a safe contact method if that pathway fits your needs. Routine office numbers and referrals are not emergency dispatch.
First conversations
You do not need to know the perfect service name before reaching out. These organizations can help you understand the landscape and identify a next step.
A separate private-pay pathway for hoarding-related support. Ask directly about scope, location, availability, and current fees before making plans. It is distinct from the nonprofit grant pathway and is not emergency care.
Unburied offers peer-led digital support for people affected by hoarding and for friends or family. Use it for connection and ongoing peer support; it does not provide therapy, emergency response, or local case management.
Call 2-1-1, text your ZIP code to 898-211, or search the West Virginia directory for food, housing, utility help, health care, and other community options. A referral does not guarantee eligibility, funding, an opening, or service; this is not emergency dispatch.
Safety and stability
These pathways serve different situations. Read the labels carefully before calling, especially when a response may involve crisis care, protective services, shelter, housing rules, legal advocacy, or emergency dispatch.
Call 911 for urgent police, fire, rescue, or medical response. Do not use routine office numbers, referral lines, or online forms when emergency dispatch is needed.
Call or text 988 for emotional distress, suicidal thoughts, or behavioral-health crisis support. It is not a housing, cleanup, or case-management program. For immediate physical danger, fire, or urgent medical response, call 911.
Help4WV offers confidential statewide support and referrals for behavioral-health and substance-use concerns. Ask about current options and fit; a referral does not guarantee an opening or eligibility. It is not emergency dispatch; call 911 for immediate danger or suspected overdose.
The center lists Calhoun County outreach and a 24-hour regional hotline for people seeking support related to domestic or sexual violence. Services are voluntary and confidential; ask safely about current options and fit. Internet and device activity may not be private. This is not emergency dispatch; call 911 for immediate danger.

Ask about current service hours, age or disability criteria, Medicaid or other program rules, fees, routes, and capacity; a directory is not a booked ride or home visit.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Grantsville, West Virginia, 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.
