A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Waverly, Ohio.

A people-first place to begin when clutter or a home-safety concern is affecting you or someone you care about in Waverly or Pike County. These are options to explore—not promises of treatment, cleanup, transportation, housing, or program availability.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

You can begin with one practical next step.

Fight the Blight is the nonprofit front door for a respectful first conversation and virtual peer groups. The Peer Tree is a separate private-pay option for practical, nonclinical support. Unburied offers digital peer support for people affected and supporters; it is not therapy or emergency support. Other listings are independent options, not endorsements. Confirm fit, cost, eligibility, consent, safety, and current availability directly.

For immediate danger

For immediate danger, fire, serious injury, or urgent medical help, call 911. For emotional distress or a behavioral-health crisis, call or text 988 or contact the local crisis line listed below. Beloved Advocacy Center is a confidential, survivor-specific option for domestic or sexual violence, not general shelter. These services do not provide cleanup or guaranteed housing. If a home is unsafe, move to the safest available place and contact emergency services or a trusted support person.
