A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Lovelock, Nevada.

You do not have to solve a whole property today. Start with the next safe step, ask what a provider actually serves, and keep emergency needs separate from longer-term support.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

Start with one safe next step

If you are unsure where to begin, Fight the Blight can help sort the situation and identify a possible support path. For clinical or crisis needs, use the qualified-care and emergency routes below. Ask every provider about current geography, eligibility, fees, waitlists, language access and what they can safely do.

A first conversation about priorities, support options and whether a free or funded pathway may fit.
