Christian Financial Credit Union offers Harbor Assist to help members connect with financial assistance programs that can reduce everyday expenses.

Many people don’t realize there are local, state, and federal programs available to help with things like groceries, childcare, rent, and utilities. The challenge isn’t that the support doesn’t exist, it’s knowing where to look, how to qualify, and how to apply. Harbor Assist helps simplify all of that.

What is Harbor Assist?

Harbor Assist connects members to financial assistance programs they may qualify for through a secure, easy-to-use platform. Instead of searching multiple websites or sorting through confusing applications, Harbor Assist does the work for you. It matches you with potential benefits in just a few minutes.

Through a quick and private experience, members can explore programs that may help reduce monthly expenses and improve overall financial stability.

How It Works

Getting started with Harbor Assist is simple:

1. Check eligibility – Answer a few quick questions to see what support programs you may qualify for.
2. Get personalized matches – View potential assistance options tailored to your situation.
3. Receive guidance – After filling out the quick questions, step-by-step support from a benefits specialist is available to help you understand and apply for benefits.

There is no lengthy paperwork to start, or complicated search process. Instead, you get a clear path to possible support.

Built-in Support When You Need It

Harbor Assist also includes access to dedicated benefits support through a team of counselors who can help guide you through the process. Whether you’re exploring options for the first time or have questions about next steps, help is available along the way.

This tool is powered in partnership with Starlight, helping make it easier to securely connect members with assistance programs while protecting privacy.
