The Peer Tree
For needs outside grant-funded programs, ask about private-pay coaching, sorting, organizing, or support for family and friends. Confirm service area, scope, and cost before scheduling.
A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
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.
Start here - Fight the Blight
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, fire, or a life-threatening medical emergency, call 911. For urgent mental-health support for adults anywhere in rural Nevada, call the State CARE Team at 775-364-8500; phone triage is 24/7 and clinician response hours are limited. 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
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.
