Housing aid (APL / ALS)
Aides au logement de la Caf (APL / ALS) ·Zuständig Caisse d'allocations familiales (Caf)
Nearly every student tenant in France can claim monthly housing aid from the Caf. If your housing is covered by a State convention — most Crous residences and much social housing — you receive the APL; otherwise the ALS (or ALF with children). The amount follows a national formula based on your rent, the local zone and your own resources: your parents' income is not counted, whether or not you are a boursier. The aid is paid monthly, usually around the 5th, directly to you or your landlord.
Wer hat Anspruch
- Tenant, co-tenant or declared sub-tenant of housing that is your main residence (occupied at least 8 months a year)
- No family link with the landlord
- Own resources below the Caf ceilings — parental income is ignored
- International students qualify with a valid residence permit
- Caution: claiming it makes you independent for Caf purposes — your parents lose the family benefits linked to you
