A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
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 or housing concern.
Start here · Fight the Blight
Our virtual groups give people affected by hoarding and clutter concerns a place to connect from Louisville and other communities. We can help you think through what is happening and what kind of next step may fit.
Call 911 for a medical emergency, fire, or immediate threat. For a behavioral-health crisis, call or text 988.
First conversations
You do not need to know the perfect service name before reaching out. These organizations can help you identify a next step.
Kentucky 211 connects people with current information about housing, shelter, utilities, food, transportation, mental health, older-adult services, legal help, and other community supports. Call or search the directory to explain the situation; eligibility, hours, and openings vary by program.
Louisville Metro’s access page points residents toward 211, 311, Neighborhood Place, stable-housing resources, mental and physical health services, and a broader community resource guide. It is a useful first conversation when several needs overlap; ask which current entry point fits.
Louisville OCD Clinic advertises a hoarding-focused treatment program that combines exposure and response prevention, motivational interviewing, and weekly home visits with a behavioral coach. Confirm current intake, licensure, insurance, cost, home-visit availability, and whether the approach fits the person’s goals.
The International OCD Foundation directory lets people search by city or ZIP code for providers and programs related to hoarding disorder. The directory is a search tool, not an endorsement; confirm licensure, approach, insurance, cost, and current availability directly.
Safety and stability
These pathways serve different situations. Read the labels carefully before calling, especially when a response may involve an investigation, enforcement, or emergency dispatch.
Kentucky Adult Protective Services investigates suspected abuse, neglect, exploitation, and related protective concerns involving adults. Kentucky also describes voluntary general adult services and a commitment to the least restrictive living arrangement. This is a protective-services pathway, not a routine cleanup service; call 911 for immediate danger.
Kentucky’s crisis system connects people to 988, regional community mental-health centers, mobile crisis services, walk-in support, and short-term crisis stabilization. These pathways are for urgent behavioral-health needs, not cleanup or ongoing hoarding treatment; call 911 for a life-threatening emergency.
Louisville Metro’s social-services page connects residents with homeless prevention, housing and rental assistance, utility help, food and nutrition programs, senior services, veterans’ resources, and financial empowerment. Call Metro311 to identify the nearest current entry point; program eligibility varies.
Louisville Metro lists Neighborhood Place, homeless and housing services, financial-assistance pathways, and community ministries for people at risk of losing their home. It is a housing-stability route when clutter concerns overlap with eviction or displacement; eligibility and funding are not guaranteed.
Louisville’s affordable-housing page describes rental and utility assistance, permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, and a Common Assessment Team for people experiencing homelessness. Referrals and program entry require screening, and availability is limited; call to ask about the current process.
Metro311 accepts non-emergency service requests and questions, including large-item pickup scheduling, street concerns, and reports involving homeless encampments. It is a municipal service pathway, not a person-centered cleanup or hoarding-support program; call 911 for immediate danger.
Louisville’s official resource guide includes local connections for aging, disability, unsafe housing, trash concerns, behavioral health, home support, and other community needs. The linked edition is dated July 2025, so confirm current contacts, eligibility, and availability before relying on a listing.
People and practical help
These listings are included because they offer a specific local or regionally useful connection. They are independent organizations; ask about current availability, cost, and approach.
Reclaim Wellness Group advertises treatment for hoarding disorder and a recurring in-person hoarding treatment and support group for adults who are actively receiving individual therapy. Confirm the current schedule, intake process, cost, insurance, and group fit directly.
A private provider advertising hoarding cleanup, animal-hoarding cleanup, gross-filth cleaning, and biohazard services in Louisville and surrounding Kentucky counties. Cost, insurance, disposal practices, licensing, and current availability were not independently verified; ask for a written scope and person-centered plan.
A Louisville-area private provider advertising gross-filth and hoarding cleanup, biohazard remediation, odor abatement, and 24/7 response. Current cost, insurance, credentials, scope, and availability were not independently verified; ask what the resident will be asked to decide and approve.
A private provider advertising hoarding cleanup, organizing, sorting, donation, disposal, support groups, and biohazard cleaning across Kentucky. Its site lists free photo estimates and a statewide service area, but current cost, licensing, insurance, and availability were not independently verified.
Louisville Metro’s 311 system allows residents to schedule a Large Item Pickup appointment. Confirm current eligibility, item limits, set-out instructions, and timing before making a plan; this is a disposal pathway, not in-home removal or hoarding treatment.
The Peer Tree is the private-pay pathway for situations that need organizing, sorting, decluttering, deep cleaning, or support for friends and family beyond grant-funded options. Ask directly about current service area, scope, availability, and cost.
Unburied is a judgment-free digital peer-support pathway for people affected by hoarding and clutter, including friends and family. It is not therapy or emergency support, but it can offer connection, tools, and ongoing momentum from home.
A note from the Alliance
A listing here does not mean Fight the Blight endorses every provider or can guarantee availability. We will keep reviewing this page, but please confirm details directly before relying on them.
