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

Start here - Fight the Blight

Start with a conversation, not a cleanup order

A first call can be about safety, priorities, access, paperwork or support. Tell the person answering whether the concern is inside the city of Greenville or elsewhere in Washington County, and ask about current eligibility, cost, wait times, transportation and what to expect.

Start with a respectful conversation about your priorities and ask about current virtual groups or another suitable support path. No whole-home cleanout is required to reach out.

Role: nonprofit hoarding-support conversation and virtual-group front door | geography: online; ask about Washington County fit | cost/eligibility: ask about current free and funded options | emergency limit: not crisis dispatch or clinical care

For immediate danger

If there is immediate danger, fire, a blocked emergency exit, serious injury or an urgent medical or mental-health crisis, use the emergency pathway first. These listings are not a substitute for 911, 988, an emergency department or a current crisis assessment.

This guide is anchored in Greenville, Mississippi, 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.
