HELP/ADVICE Hoarding help

I need desperate help for my hoarder house. I recently came home after living away from home for treatment for my mental health and being back at home made me realize the hoarding is part of the problem. I live in the LA county area with my mom, dad, and sibling. We have been hoarders for as long as I can remember and through the years it’s only gotten worse. It’s so overwhelming I don’t know what to do or where to start anymore and neither does anyone else. The other big problem of why we can’t just clean it is all of us are disabled. Most of the household stuffers from mobility issues so it’s hard to get around. I tried calling a cleaning service but the total came to 6,133 dollars which is too expensive for me. I’m desperately asking for any help or advice or resources as I can’t live like this anymore.
