A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
You deserve support without shame or pressure to solve everything at once. Choose the next step that matters to you—safety, health, food, transportation, housing, or a conversation. You set the pace.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Fight the Blight is the nonprofit starting point for hoarding-related support and virtual peer groups; ask about service area, program fit, and eligibility because grant-funded help is not guaranteed. The Peer Tree is a separate private-pay option. Unburied offers digital peer support for people affected and friends or family supporters; it is not therapy or emergency support. Darke County's behavioral-health providers can explain care pathways, but directory inclusion does not establish hoarding-specialty expertise. We did not verify a local hoarding-specialty clinician or hoarding-specific cleanout provider, and no providers were contacted.
For immediate danger, fire, or urgent medical need, call 911. For emotional crisis support, call or text 988 or call the Tri-County crisis line at 1-800-351-7347. For poisoning or a possible exposure, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222. Darke County JFS lists 937-548-2020 for child-protection emergencies after hours; use 911 for immediate danger. These independent pathways do not guarantee placement, treatment, or an on-scene response.
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.
An optional private-pay pathway when nonprofit programs are not a fit or available.
Online peer-led support and tools; it does not replace a clinician or emergency service.
The regional board funds and coordinates services. Ask about current local options; inclusion in a directory does not establish hoarding-specialty expertise, openings, or endorsement.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Greenville, Ohio, 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.
