A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
You can begin with one concern—not a full cleanout or a perfect plan. A clearer path, a health question, a benefit, or someone safe to talk with can be a meaningful first step.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Fight the Blight is a nonprofit starting point for hoarding-related support and virtual peer groups; ask about service area, program fit, and eligibility. Grant-funded help is not guaranteed. The Peer Tree is a separate private-pay option. Unburied offers digital peer support for affected people and friends or family supporters, not therapy or emergency support. The regional behavioral-health board and provider directories can help identify services, but directory inclusion does not establish hoarding-specific expertise. We did not verify a local hoarding-specialty clinician or hoarding-specific cleanout provider, and no providers were contacted.
For immediate danger, fire, or urgent medical need, call 911. For emotional crisis support, call or text 988. Violence Free Futures lists a confidential 24/7 helpline for Greene County survivors; call or text before traveling to discuss safety and current options. Shelter placement depends on assessment and capacity. Confirm service area, fees, eligibility, schedules, and availability directly. These are independent options, not endorsements.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Xenia, Ohio, 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.
