Resources for temporary gun storage during a crisis

So, lets say someone who has already been spiraling from worsening depression just learned that their job is going to start laying more people off. They are almost certainly on the list, likely don't have enough savings to last until finding another job, and they'd straight up rather not be around anymore than deal with being homeless ever again.

They are not a threat to anyone else, but they're concerned that they'll impulsively decide to be a selfish piece of trash and ruin an EMT's day with a big mess if they do lose their job, if you catch my drift.

How would this person go about finding a safe and temporary place to hold on to their guns (a pistol and a rifle, not a large collection) that is free or very low cost, and won't lead to involuntary commitment or a rando from craigslist just stealing them, until they find stability?
