Help Shape Northlight Home Services

Catholic Charities is developing Northlight Home Services to make home maintenance simpler, more predictable, and easier to manage, while providing sustainable revenue to support our housing program for low income families. Before finalizing the program, we want to hear from you.

Your input will directly shape how this service is structured and delivered. The survey takes about 7–10 minutes to complete. We appreciate your time and thoughtful feedback. If you have any questions or additional comments, please email Daniel Altenau, Director of Disaster Services, at Daniel.Altenau@ccharitiesdor.org.
