A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Tonopah, Nevada.

You deserve support that starts with you—not judgment or pressure to fix everything at once. A first conversation can be about choices, safety, or one concern that matters today.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

Choose one next step that feels manageable.

You can ask about options before sharing personal details, inviting anyone into your home, or making a plan. Ask what a service costs, who it serves, and what happens next.

Ask about hoarding-related support, a virtual peer group, or guidance for someone you care about. You can start with a question; you do not need a whole-home plan.

Role: nonprofit hoarding-support front door and virtual-group pathway; geography: remote inquiry from Nye County; cost/eligibility: ask about fit and current availability; emergency limit: not crisis response, therapy, or emergency placement

For immediate danger

You can also call or text 988. These services do not dispatch fire or ambulance responders, and this guide is not crisis response.

A note from the Alliance

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

This guide is anchored in Tonopah, Nevada, 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.
