A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
Waverly is the Humphreys County seat. You can begin with one concern—a safer path, a housing question, or a conversation about support. You do not have to solve everything at once.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Fight the Blight is the nonprofit hoarding-support and virtual-group front door. Ask what is available and whether your situation or location fits; no specific service or referral is guaranteed.
Start with a respectful conversation. Ask what is currently available and whether a virtual peer group or referral may fit; no specific service or provider is guaranteed.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Waverly, Tennessee, 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.
