A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Wailuku, Hawaii.

You deserve support that starts with your priorities, not a demand to clear everything at once. Whether you are directly affected, supporting someone else, or working through a safety or housing concern, choose one next step that feels manageable.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

Start with the kind of support you want

For hoarding-related questions, Fight the Blight is the nonprofit front door and offers virtual peer groups. The Peer Tree is a separate private-pay pathway. Unburied is digital peer support, not therapy or emergency support. Local organizations decide their own service area, eligibility, cost, intake, and availability.

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 Maui 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 Hawaiʻi CARES at 988; if calling from a number outside area code 808, use 808-832-3100 or 800-753-6879 to reach a local Hawaiʻi counselor. Crisis support does not guarantee ongoing treatment, housing, or cleanup.

This guide is anchored in Wailuku, Hawaii, 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.
