A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
A respectful place to begin, whether you are looking for support for yourself, worried about someone you love, or trying to respond to a safety, housing, care, or practical concern in Tulsa County.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Our virtual groups give people affected by hoarding and clutter concerns a place to connect from Tulsa, Tulsa County, and other communities. We can help you think through what is happening and what kind of next step may fit.
Call 911 for a medical emergency, fire, or immediate threat. For behavioral-health crisis support, call or text 988. For Tulsa County crisis response, call 918-744-4800.
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.
Call or text 988 for a behavioral-health crisis, suicidal thoughts, emotional distress, or concern about a loved one. This is not a cleanup provider and does not replace 911 for immediate danger.
Family & Children's Services operates the COPES crisis line and mobile response for children and adults in Tulsa County. The CrisisCare Center is open 24/7 for adults 18 and older and offers screening, urgent recovery, and crisis stabilization. Call for current instructions; call 911 for immediate danger.
The state behavioral-health system points people in crisis to 988 and lists Tulsa-area treatment and crisis contacts. Ask about current programs, insurance, Medicaid, and whether a local service fits the situation.
The International OCD Foundation directory can be searched for clinicians, support groups, organizers, and programs that indicate an interest in hoarding-related care. Ask about experience, licensure, fees, insurance, wait time, privacy, and whether home-based or telehealth work fits.
Tulsa-area housing and resource partners identify 211 Eastern Oklahoma as a 24/7 information and referral service available by phone, chat, text, and online search. It is a navigation service, not guaranteed placement, funding, cleanup, or emergency dispatch.
Safety and stability
These pathways serve different situations. Read the labels carefully before calling, especially when a response may involve protective services, crisis response, domestic-violence advocacy, municipal code, shelter intake, protective orders, or emergency dispatch.
Call 911 when there is immediate danger, fire, a medical emergency, violence, or a threat that cannot wait for a scheduled service. Emergency dispatch is not a hoarding-support program, counseling service, or cleanup provider.
Oklahoma Human Services accepts reports of abuse, neglect, self-neglect, or exploitation involving vulnerable adults. Report online through OKHotline or call the statewide hotline. APS helps connect people to services when possible; it is not an emergency cleanup service or guarantee of removal. Call 911 for immediate danger.
DVIS provides crisis support, shelter, advocacy, protective-order support, and free legal services for eligible survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and trafficking. It is not general hoarding support or guaranteed shelter placement.
Tulsa Code Enforcement investigates nuisance, zoning, and property-maintenance ordinances and accepts reports online or through 311. Code enforcement is not therapy, crisis care, or a consent-based cleanup program; ask about jurisdiction and process before reporting.
Housing Solutions Tulsa maintains a local directory and directs people seeking housing to complete an assessment with an A Way Home for Tulsa provider. The directory lists shelters, food partners, 211, and the Tulsa Landlord Tenant Resource Center. Call ahead because capacity and intake rules vary.
The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office explains when and where an emergency protective order may be filed for domestic and family violence, sexual assault, stalking, and related situations. This is legal information, not legal representation or emergency dispatch; call 911 for immediate danger.
People and practical help
These listings connect Tulsa and Tulsa County residents with county-seat government, housing, homelessness navigation, food, legal support, aging and disability services, benefits, organizing, or peer support. Ask about current availability, cost, scope, consent, and safety before relying on them.
Tulsa County's official site connects residents with elected offices, county services, courts, public safety, and community partners. Use it as a local map and ask each office about current intake, jurisdiction, and eligibility.
Tulsa Housing Authority provides public housing, housing vouchers, senior and disability housing, and resident social services. Its current application page says applications are free and estimated Section 8 wait time is 12 to 36 months; confirm current openings and eligibility directly.
THA social-service coordinators help residents identify resources involving food access, health care, education, independence, and self-sufficiency. This is planned support for residents, not general cleanup, emergency housing, or crisis dispatch.
Housing Solutions coordinates local homelessness resources and explains that a housing assessment with an A Way Home provider is the first step toward some housing opportunities. It is a referral pathway rather than a guarantee of shelter, rent, or placement.
Housing Solutions' current Tulsa directory lists Iron Gate for community meals and food-pantry support at 501 West Archer Street. Confirm hours, appointment requirements, service area, and current capacity before traveling.
The Oklahoma resource guide lists Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma's Tulsa office as serving Tulsa and nearby counties. Ask about housing, benefits, consumer, family, or safety issues and current eligibility. Legal aid is not a cleanup provider or emergency dispatch.
The state CAP program provides supportive services for vulnerable adults, adult-day services, caregiver and aging connections, and long-term-care ombudsman services. Ask which program fits and confirm current local availability. This is planned support, not emergency dispatch.
The Peer Tree is the private-pay pathway for organizing help, decluttering support, groups, family guidance, and practical next steps when a grant or public program is not the right fit. Ask about scope, cost, travel, consent, safety, and whether support is available in Tulsa or Tulsa County.
Unburied, from The Peer Tree, offers a judgment-free digital pathway with peer support, groups, and tools for people directly affected and for friends or family supporters. It is not therapy, a crisis service, or a substitute for emergency help.
A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Tulsa, the county seat of Tulsa 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.
