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

Start here - Fight the Blight

A first conversation, at your pace

You do not have to sort, discard, or prepare your home before asking for support. Start with the kind of help you want, then confirm service area, cost, eligibility, and timing directly.

Start with a people-first conversation about hoarding-related support. You can ask about options for yourself, a loved one, or a community concern, including virtual groups. Confirm current access and fit before relying on a service.

Role: nonprofit hoarding-support front door and virtual peer groups; geography: ask about Switzerland County or online options; cost/eligibility: confirm current group access; emergency limit: not crisis dispatch or cleanup

For immediate danger

For an immediate threat to life or safety, fire, or a life-threatening medical emergency, call 911. For emotional distress or a behavioral-health or substance-use crisis, call or text 988. 988 is crisis support, not a guarantee of ongoing treatment, housing, or cleanup.
