Depends on what's happening... if the local corporation or the national housing corporation is retaining the facility and is renting it, then it will probably be rented furnished (dishes, beds, etc).
If the chapter is going to be back quickly, then perhaps a local alumna or two could be found to store trophies and stuff. Even if not, perhaps they would be willing to store for an extended time.
Another possibility would be for the local corporation, if it has the funds to rent a storage facility. But that can become expensive over a long period.
I'd suggest you contact the national housing corporation via headquarters and see what they can suggest. PM me if you want contacts.
I know its hard, my chapter closed not quite 10 years ago and all of our stuff was sold, given away, or taken by local alums.
BTW, if the facility is sold, be sure that the corporation invests the proceeds securely ... the NHC has an investment fund for holding monies for corporations of closed chapters. Just because the chapter is dormant, doesn't mean that the corporation should be disbanded.
