A note from the Alliance

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

This guide is anchored in Greensburg, the county seat of Westmoreland County, and includes countywide 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.
