There are a  couple of folks who live in the area who now need some housing support during the rebuild.

 

A fire in the 3rd floor condo at 72 Newbern Ave, Medford on Sat August 27 destroyed that unit and the first and second floor units had such extensive water damage that they are uninhabitable. 

 

First floor couple are staying with family out of state until they can find another place. She’s a grad student at Tufts so she needs to be close enough to do her research; he can work remotely. 

 

We are  trying to help them and wondered if our Neighbors of Tufts or South Medford might have some housing ideas in the area.

 

Thanks for considering this and please contact me with any information you may have.
