A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Hahnville, Louisiana.

A respectful local place to begin when clutter, housing pressure, safety concerns, or support for someone you care about are becoming hard to carry alone.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

You can begin with the part that feels most urgent today.

Fight the Blight is the nonprofit, virtual-group front door for people affected by hoarding and clutter concerns. Hahnville and St. Charles Parish residents can also use local public-safety, health, behavioral-health, housing, food, aging, transportation, and benefits pathways. No listing is an endorsement, and each provider sets its own eligibility, cost, hours, service area, capacity, consent, and safety rules.

For immediate danger

For immediate danger, fire, serious injury, or a life-threatening medical emergency, call 911. For emotional distress or behavioral-health crisis support, call or text 988. For non-emergency local navigation, call 211.
