A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
A safer, more workable home can begin with one respectful conversation. This guide brings together local options without assuming what someone needs or promising that a service is available.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Choose one step that feels manageable. You can ask questions before agreeing to a visit, sharing information, or making changes at home.
Ask about hoarding support, virtual peer groups, family guidance, or a respectful next step. You do not need to solve everything before reaching out.
Role: nonprofit hoarding-support front door and virtual-group pathway; geography: remote inquiry from Kewaunee County; cost/eligibility: ask about program fit, any eligibility, and availability; no local placement is promised; emergency limit: not emergency response, therapy, or local placement
This guide is not an emergency service, clinical assessment, legal advice, shelter placement, or guarantee of assistance. For immediate danger, fire, or urgent medical need call 911. Kewaunee County lists 24/7 crisis counseling at (920) 255-1645; call or text 988 for national emotional-crisis support. For domestic or sexual violence, the Violence Intervention Project lists a 24-hour hotline at (920) 837-2424. If you cannot connect or someone is in immediate danger, use 911.
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.
Ask which county pathway fits, including outpatient care, FoodShare, energy assistance, adult protection, or transportation.
Ask about aging, disability, long-term support, caregivers, meals, and transportation. Ask whether phone or in-person information is available.
Ask whether local or remote support is available and discuss consent, safety, and cost before arranging help.
Call 211 or search online for current local referrals, including housing and basic-needs options.
Safety and stability
These pathways serve different situations. Read the labels carefully before calling, especially when a response may involve crisis care, protective services, shelter, housing rules, legal advocacy, or emergency dispatch.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Kewaunee, Wisconsin, 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.
