A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
A local starting point for people affected by clutter or hoarding concerns, and for the friends and family who care about them. You can ask questions, focus on one safety need, and choose a pace that respects the person and their home.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Start with the person, what matters to them, and the next step they choose. A first conversation can be about options, safety, or simply where to begin—not a forced cleanout.
Fight the Blight offers a respectful first conversation and virtual support groups for people affected by hoarding and clutter concerns. Reach out to ask what is currently available and what may fit your situation.
Role: nonprofit hoarding-support and virtual-group entry point; geography: Torrington, Goshen County, and virtual groups; cost/eligibility: ask about current group options, availability, and fit; emergency limit: not emergency response or therapy; call 911 for immediate danger.
For immediate danger, fire, urgent medical need, or a need for police, fire, or ambulance response, call 911. For a mental-health crisis, call or text 988. Do not enter an unsafe structure or handle unknown chemicals, sharps, structural hazards, or animal waste without qualified help.
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.
The Peer Tree is a private-pay path when grant-funded services do not fit. Ask directly whether the current service area includes Torrington, and discuss scope, pace, scheduling, and cost before deciding.
Unburied offers a digital peer-support pathway for ongoing reflection, practical tools, and connection. It is not therapy or an emergency service.
Call 2-1-1 or 888-425-7138, or text your ZIP code to 898211, to ask about current food, housing, utility, health, and other referrals. Live staff are listed Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.; confirm each referred program's eligibility and availability.
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 or text 988 for confidential crisis support. If someone is in immediate danger, needs urgent medical care, or needs police, fire, or ambulance response, call 911.
Community Hospital is an open-24-hours critical-access hospital in Torrington with emergency and behavioral-health services. For immediate medical danger, call 911; confirm the right point of care for non-emergency concerns.
The County says its program supports victim safety and independence, protects confidentiality, explains rights, and can provide advocacy, compensation-claim help, emotional support, and referrals.
Goshen County lists the Task Force as a local safety resource. Call to ask about current advocacy, shelter, and safety-planning options; availability and fit must be confirmed directly.
Wyoming DFS explains how to report concerns about a vulnerable adult. Reports are assessed under program rules; when possible, consider the adult's wishes, rights, and least-restrictive support options.
People and practical help
These listings connect the local community with housing, food, behavioral health, benefits, transit, survivor advocacy, disability support, peer support, and practical resources. Ask about current availability, cost, scope, consent, and safety before relying on them.
VOA lists counseling and psychiatric services in Torrington for people of different ages. Call to ask about current intake, service fit, insurance, sliding-fee screening, and appointment availability; this is not a hoarding-specific clinic.

The local office is a starting point for questions about programs such as SNAP, LIEAP, TANF, and other family services. Ask which application route, documents, and eligibility rules apply to your household.
WYO HELP lists a shopper-choice pantry in Torrington and appointments on Fridays. Check current eligibility and scheduling information before traveling; pantry inventory and hours can change.
WYO HELP describes rent-deposit and utility-payment assistance through CSBG. Call before relying on help: program caps and funds can change, and the organization says funds may be depleted.
Wyoming DFS explains the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and application process. Eligibility is determined through an application; a community referral does not guarantee benefits.
The City explains utility billing and points residents who need help paying to Wyoming LIEAP or WYO HELP. Contact the City and assistance programs directly to confirm account deadlines, eligibility, and available funds.
VOA lists Mountain View Apartments in Torrington as part of its supportive-housing program. The program describes limited assistance for residents who live almost independently; contact VOA to confirm qualifications, application status, and availability.

For a question about county land-use requirements or property planning, Goshen County lists Planning and GIS as a department. Confirm jurisdiction and the right contact before relying on county rules for a property inside Torrington city limits.
The City provides information about residential sanitation, recycling, the baler, and landfill rules. This is a disposal-information pathway only; it does not provide home cleanouts, hauling guarantees, or advice to discard another person's belongings.
The County Clerk's office can direct people to public records, forms, and county administrative information. It is not a legal-aid office; for legal advice, use the Wyoming Judicial Branch legal-help pathways.
The City shares emergency and disaster-preparedness resources for residents. For immediate police, fire, or medical response, call 911 rather than the administrative office.
A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Torrington, Wyoming, 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.
