The Peer Tree
The Peer Tree is a separate private-pay pathway for support such as sorting, organizing, decluttering, deep cleaning, and guidance for friends or family. You can ask questions before deciding whether a service is right for you.
A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
When clutter, a housing concern, or a difficult decision is weighing on you or someone you care about, the next step can be a conversation—not a cleanout. Start with what matters most to the person affected, and ask each program what is available before making plans.
Start here - Fight the Blight
A respectful first step is to ask what support is available and what choices remain yours. If you are helping someone else, listen, seek consent, and focus first on safety and daily needs. No local hoarding-specific clinician, peer group, or independent cleanout provider was verified; the broader services below do not imply hoarding specialization.
Fight the Blight offers a respectful first conversation and virtual support groups for people affected by hoarding and clutter concerns. Ask what is currently available and what may fit your situation.
Role: nonprofit hoarding-support and virtual-group entry point; geography: ask about Shoshone County and online options; cost/eligibility: confirm group fit, schedule, and availability; emergency limit: not therapy or emergency response.
For immediate physical danger, fire, serious injury, or urgent medical help, call 911. For behavioral-health crisis support, call or text 988; Idaho also lists Northern Idaho Crisis Center for adults. These crisis pathways are not routine cleanup, housing placement, or disposal services.

Idaho 211 can help locate food, housing, health, behavioral-health, and other community supports. Call 211 or 800-926-2588, or text 898211; Idaho lists specialist hours Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.–6 p.m. Mountain Time.
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 911 when someone is in immediate danger or needs urgent medical, fire, or law-enforcement response. For non-emergency questions, contact the appropriate local office instead of emergency dispatch.

The center says adults can come on their own or with a trusted person for up to 24 hours of support. It is in Coeur d’Alene, not Wallace; call first to discuss travel and fit, and use 911 for immediate physical danger.
Trained advocates answer the 24-hour hotline and describe crisis intervention, referrals, legal and medical advocacy, and temporary emergency shelter for people affected by violence. The Wallace office is at 415 7th Street, Suite 1; call before visiting if doing so is not safe.
The County coordinates planning and response for large-scale hazards such as landslides, wildfires, flooding, and other disasters. This is a preparedness and coordination office, not a hoarding cleanup or behavioral-health service.
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.
Shoshone Medical Center says its mental-health service offers individual, family, and group behavioral-health care for all ages. The page does not identify hoarding-specific treatment; ask about fit and current availability. Call 911 for immediate danger or urgent medical help.

NAMI Idaho lists free Connection and Family Support groups, including online meetings. They are for people affected by mental-health conditions and their loved ones, not hoarding-specific groups; confirm the current meeting and whether it feels like a fit.
CAP lists its Shoshone County location at 114 W. Riverside Avenue, Kellogg, and says qualifying households may access weekly perishables and food boxes. Call before traveling to confirm current hours, eligibility, documentation, and what is available.
CAP describes heating-bill support, possible emergency energy help, and weatherization services. It asks residents to contact their local office to determine eligibility and apply; funding, seasonal intake, and service availability can change.
IHFA directs Shoshone County applicants to its Coeur d’Alene branch. Applications, eligibility, and waiting times can change; ask whether the list is open, what documents are needed, and whether a voucher can be used with a particular rental.

The County lists a full-service transfer station at 52619 Silver Valley Road, Kellogg. Its 2026 notice describes window stickers and additional charges for some materials; call with a specific item list before loading or hauling, and do not assume residential fees cover a cleanout.
The City says sewer bills are sent quarterly to parcels and that South Fork Sewer District separately handles wastewater treatment. Contact City Hall to confirm jurisdiction, billing, and service questions; this is not a bulk-waste or cleanup program.

Its page warns that assistance must be repaid and an automatic lien is created on real and personal property when a person files an application. Read the terms and ask the County questions before applying.

Idaho's Commission on Aging says Adult Protective Services can respond to abuse, exploitation, neglect, and self-neglect reports involving vulnerable adults. Use the official map to find the Area Agency on Aging serving the person; APS is not a general hoarding cleanup or voluntary service directory.
Silver Valley CARES maintains a regional directory that includes food, housing, and community resources. Treat it as a starting point for questions, not proof that a program has current openings or provides hoarding-specific help.
A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Wallace, Idaho, 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.
