A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Oregon City, Oregon.

You deserve choices, not pressure. This guide gathers places to ask about support, basic needs, safety, and a next step—whether clutter affects you or someone you care about. A listing is a place to start, not a promise that a service is open or a fit. You can ask questions, take time, and decide what feels manageable. You do not have to agree to a cleanout to ask for help.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

Start with the kind of help that feels right today

Role: Fight the Blight is the nonprofit first conversation and virtual peer-group front door for hoarding and clutter support. Geography: remote; ask about current Clackamas County access. Cost/eligibility: confirm current conversation, group availability, and any funding or program fit. Emergency limit: nonclinical support—not therapy, emergency response, or a cleanup service. You can begin with a conversation without agreeing to a cleanout.

For immediate danger

For immediate danger, serious injury, or urgent medical need, call 911. For suicidal thoughts or emotional distress, call or text 988. Clackamas County's free, confidential behavioral-health crisis line is 503-655-8585 and is available 24/7. A mobile response or walk-in visit is not guaranteed or a substitute for emergency dispatch; call first and explain what feels safe. The County's stabilization center is referral-only, not a walk-up service.

First conversations

No listing requires a cleanout.

The Peer Tree

The Peer Tree may be a fit when grant-funded options do not cover the support someone wants, including peer support, sorting, organizing, decluttering, or help for friends and family. Ask about service area, pace, consent, and cost before making plans.

A note from the Alliance

Start with the person. Then decide what the situation needs.

This guide is anchored in Oregon City, Oregon, 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.
