I would not be able to host, but would be glad to give away some household items I have doubles or extras of (pans, knife set, lights, bowls, etc.) or help in any other way once they are able (hopefully in the near term) settle somewhere. I hope they are able to find and secure a short-term living arrangement soon, at the very least.

I work for a local non-profit and we recently have collected job listings posted by local retailers, in case that would be helpful (if the mama is looking to transition at any point).

I am guessing you are in touch with the Cambridge Nonprofit Coalition or Cambridge Volunteer Clearinghouse, and the City of Cambridge, etc. I’m not sure /exactly/ what the CNC and CVC would be able to do to help, but I know they’re pretty well networked and might be able to support in finding a temp place to stay?
