A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Nottoway, Virginia.

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, housing, care, or practical concern in Nottoway or elsewhere in Nottoway County.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

A calm place to begin

Fight the Blight is the nonprofit and virtual-group front door for people affected by hoarding and clutter concerns, including people who are directly affected and supporters who want to learn how to provide support. Nottoway is the county-seat community, often identified with Nottoway Court House, while county departments and the incorporated towns of Blackstone, Burkeville, and Crewe may have separate local pathways. No outside listing is an endorsement; each organization sets its own eligibility, cost, hours, service area, capacity, consent, and safety rules.

For immediate danger

If there is immediate danger, fire, a medical emergency, violence, or a rescue need, call 911. This guide is for navigation and support; it is not emergency dispatch, clinical care, or a promise of cleanup or housing.
