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, housing, care, or practical concern in Pueblo or Pueblo County.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Our virtual groups give people affected by hoarding and clutter concerns a place to connect from Pueblo, Pueblo County, and nearby 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 behavioral-health crisis support, call or text 988, call Colorado Crisis Services, or contact Health Solutions' 24/7 Crisis Living Room. For food, shelter, housing, utilities, and basic-needs navigation, call 211 Colorado and confirm local availability.
First conversations
You do not need to know the perfect service name before reaching out. These organizations can help you understand the landscape and identify a next step.

Pueblo County's public-health department maintains local mental-health and crisis-resource information, including Colorado Crisis Services, local behavioral-health providers, and veteran and suicide-prevention pathways. Use it as a navigation point and confirm current services directly.

Safety and stability
These pathways serve different situations. Read the labels carefully before calling, especially when a response may involve crisis care, protective services, shelter, housing rules, legal advocacy, or emergency dispatch.
Call 911 when someone is in immediate danger, a fire or medical emergency is happening, or emergency responders are needed. A hoarding or housing concern that is not immediately dangerous may need a planned county, housing, or support response instead.
Call or text 988 for immediate emotional distress, suicidal thoughts, or a behavioral-health crisis. The 988 Lifeline can help with crisis support and connection; call 911 when there is an immediate threat, fire, serious medical emergency, or need for emergency dispatch.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Pueblo, Colorado, 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.
