A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

Choose one place to begin

Fight the Blight is the nonprofit front door for hoarding-related support. The Peer Tree offers private-pay support, and Unburied is a digital peer-support option—not therapy or emergency care. You can ask questions before deciding whether a service fits.

A first conversation for people affected by hoarding, friends and family, and community partners. Share only what you are comfortable sharing and ask what support may fit your situation and location.

Role: nonprofit front door and virtual-group pathway for hoarding-related support; geography: ask about current options for San Miguel County; cost/eligibility: confirm any eligibility, funding, and fees; emergency limit: not clinical care or emergency response.

For immediate danger

If there is immediate danger, a life-threatening medical emergency, or urgent emergency response is needed, call 911. For emotional or behavioral-health crisis support in New Mexico, call or text 988 or call the New Mexico Crisis and Access Line at 1-855-662-7474. This guide is not emergency response.
