A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Maysville, Kentucky.

A people-first place to begin when clutter or a home-safety concern is affecting you or someone you care about in Maysville or Mason County. Take one next step; this guide does not promise treatment, cleanup, a ride, housing, or an opening in any program.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

You can start with one conversation.

Fight the Blight is the nonprofit front door for a respectful first conversation and virtual peer groups. Ask about current group fit, service area, and any eligibility requirements. The Peer Tree is a separate private-pay option for practical, nonclinical support. Unburied offers digital peer support for people affected and supporters; it is not therapy or emergency support. Other listings are independent options. Confirm fit, cost, eligibility, consent, safety, and current availability directly.

For immediate danger

For immediate danger, fire, serious injury, or urgent medical help, call 911. For emotional distress or a behavioral-health crisis, call or text 988, or contact Comprehend's crisis line at (877) 852-1523; these are not cleanup services or substitutes for emergency dispatch. The Ion Center's Buffalo Trace crisis line is for people affected by domestic or sexual violence and human trafficking, not general shelter. If a home is unsafe, choose the safest available location and contact emergency services or an appropriate support person.
