One of our members has written to us about a service she is offering in the Chicago/South bend, Indiana area-- basically a COH for hire to help organize. We aren't endorsing this business, but thought it was fair enough to throw out there in case anyone is curious. Below is a link to her ad on craigslist:

I've made dedicated pages for each state on the COH website. Here is where you can find yours:

http://www.childrenofhoarders.com/IL.php

Hopefully you will find some resources there that will help you.
As always, I'm glad to learn of new resources from members so I can post them on the site to help others desperately searching for them.
You can post anything you know of here in this forum, or submit them via the anonymous feedback form on your state's page.

Thank you.
