Hoarding support in Hammond, Louisiana.

A respectful place to begin, whether you are looking for support for yourself, worried about someone you love, or trying to respond to a safety, housing, care, or practical concern in Hammond or Tangipahoa Parish.

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.

Our virtual groups give people affected by hoarding and clutter concerns a place to connect from Hammond, Tangipahoa Parish, and nearby Florida Parishes communities. We can help you think through what kind of next step may fit.

For immediate danger

Call 911 for a medical emergency, fire, immediate danger, or active threat. For emotional distress or a behavioral-health crisis, call or text 988; Louisiana and FPHSA also provide crisis-response pathways. For current food, shelter, housing, utilities, transportation, or benefits navigation, dial 211 and confirm local availability.
