We sold our home and currently have no permenant address yet. Our personal belongings have been put is storage and may stay there for 6 to 9 months until we purchase a new home. Since we don't have home insurance anymore, there is no content coverage. What is available?

Contents in storage coverage is not a product commonly sold by mainstream insurance companies. This coverage is commonly available through a wholesale broker who specializes in niche products. A quick Google search on 'contents in storage insurance' will lead you to multiple providers. My personal belief is that if your contents are locked up securely in a reputable facility then there is little need for such insurance. However, if you are storing the items in a container on your own property then insurance is very difficult to find and expensive.
