A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
You do not have to solve everything at once. Start with the part that matters most today: immediate safety, a first conversation, a health or benefits question, or one small practical step.
Start here - Fight the Blight
These pathways are designed to help you begin without shame or pressure. Ask what a service actually covers before sharing sensitive details or moving items.
Ask what a first conversation would cover or how a virtual group works. You can ask without sending photos or arranging a home visit.
Role: nonprofit front door for hoarding support and virtual groups; geography: ask about joining online from Lewisburg or elsewhere in Marshall County; cost/eligibility: confirm registration, group fit, and any fees; funded local home services are not assumed; emergency limit: not therapy or emergency response.
If there is immediate danger, smoke or fire, a serious injury, or a medical emergency, call 911. For urgent emotional distress or suicidal thoughts, call or text 988. These emergency pathways are separate from routine service navigation.
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.
Use this as a private-pay pathway when grant-funded help is not the fit. Confirm the service scope, travel expectations, rate, and scheduling before making plans.

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 Lewisburg, Tennessee, 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.
