Light tubes [0] (or sun pipes) are fairly established ways of transporting natural light, although I suspect they would need modifications to feed multiple destinations. An alternative would be to have the homes built around a central light shaft, like the proposal for Alice City in Tokyo [1].

Another great advantage of living underground is the relatively stable temperature (not too hot and not too cold) all year round.
