A note from the Alliance

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

This guide is anchored in Redding, the county seat of Shasta County, and includes city, countywide, regional, statewide, national, nonprofit, 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.
