There is a company in or near Buffalo called Kleen Scene. They are a for profit company but if you need help, look them up and give them a call. The owners name is Matt Ferro. Here is a link to their hoarding information. Hope this helps!

I was recently evicted when a landlord had to come into my apartment to fix a leak and he stated I had 30 days to move. If I left anything there, they stated I would be charged a full months rent each month till removed. I was homeless for 3 months while my stuff was in storage. I lost my security even though there was no damage. The homeless shelters would not let me stay after 2 weeks because I had a car. We had to scrub walls there and do chores and random mandatory drug tests while they watched. It was horrific! This happened during the holidays so landlords were not calling back and other apartments had a waiting list to get in. I took the only apartment I could get in.

This new apartment is much smaller. I am sorting through my things and giving most away to thrift stores. Most of my things are all usefull. The things I want to keep, I have no where to put. My new apartment is now cluttered and is smaller than the last one. I do not know what to do with the things I am keeping. I already gave alot away. I am having a difficult time sleeping at night and fear another eviction if new landlord enters my apartment.

I have sought counseling, sought hoarders support groups, sought help from anyone. I am on social security so cannot hire professional organizers. I am going to counseling but it is not for hoarders. I need and want help but do not know where to get it.

When I went into Hoarding Help Resources, there is no one in or around Buffalo NY. There is also no support groups for hoarders in our area. When I went into the Online Support Group, I was not able to download Java or get the plug in to enter the support group on line. Please Help to know where there was a support group in Buffalo and a professional in Buffalo.
