A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Tishomingo, Oklahoma.

You do not have to solve everything at once. Start with the kind of help that matters most today, and ask each organization what it can actually provide before making plans.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

Start with a conversation, then choose one next step

Fight the Blight is the nonprofit front door for a respectful hoarding-support conversation and virtual groups. The local listings below can help with health care, food, benefits, transportation and practical questions. Inclusion is not an endorsement, and no listing promises a funded service, a place in a program or a particular outcome.

A respectful first contact. Ask about nonprofit programs, virtual groups and intake; a conversation is not approval for funded services.

Role: nonprofit hoarding-support conversation and virtual-group front door | geography: online intake; ask about Johnston County fit | cost/eligibility: first contact is free; eligibility for any funded program is assessed individually | emergency limit: not emergency dispatch, clinical treatment or guaranteed cleanup

For immediate danger

For immediate danger, fire, a serious injury or urgent medical need, call 911. For a mental-health or substance-use crisis, call or text 988; 988 is not emergency dispatch. Johnston County Emergency Management says it does not operate public storm shelters, so ask local officials about current safe options before severe weather rather than assuming a shelter is available.
