HELPING STRANDED TRAVELERS & DISPLACED ISLANDERS
When the ferries are canceled and there aren't enough rooms
Ferry and airplane cancelations are a common occurence with which most of us are familiar but sometimes we have no back-up plan. It doesn't happen often but sometimes visitors to the island for a day-trip are stranded, wedding attendees cannot return to the mainland as planned. If it is off-season, traditional lodging is very limited and during the summer, just unavailable.
Weather and other emergencies may also strike year round residents whose pipes burst and/or have no heat during winter power outages, or flooding may have rendered their home termporarily unsafe.
Many of us who are blessed with a home on Nantucket, are prepared to open our home, a room or rooms in our home to help our neighbors and visitors, for free, for a cleaning fee or a reduced rate in situations like these.
nWe are still getting organized and hope to offer our website and Facebook Pages as a clearinghouse for assistance requests. We have volunteers to connect visitors/travelers with homeowners and a list of available homes. We would love to add yours - please navigate to our Emergency Lodging page on this website.

"ACK Now has not taken into account the unique neighborhoods and homes on the Island. It is dividing the full and part time residents even more, something that is a problem because part time residents contribute so much to the economy and fabric of the Island. The regulations they propose solve no affordable housing issues..."
