Housing Aid

CAF Rent Allowance

Allocation Personnalisée au Logement (APL) (Housing Benefit)

This is financial aid is paid by the Caisse d'Allocations Familiales (CAF) on a monthly basis based on the rent  (excluding heating, electricity, water supply and local taxation) and your income. ECAF will pay this directly to landlords if the housing is licensed. Learn more

Allocation à Logement à caractère Social (ALS)

This is the most common form of aid available to students. It may be granted for a household or for a residential room, studio, flat or house. Unlike APL, ALS is paid directly to the tenant by default, but you may also choose direct payment to the landlord. Learn more 

VISALE guarantee

VISALE is a rental guarantee subsidy in the event of unpaid rents. In the event that a student is faced with difficulties that result in the non-payment of rent due dates, the VISALE guarantee system will take care of reallocating the rent to the landlord in place of the student tenant. The guarantee can extend to 36 monthly payments and cover any costs related to the housing contracts for the move. 

More information about the VISALE guarantee.

Other schemes are also available to help you to fund your accommodation, including the avance loca-pass, garantie des risques locatifs which act as deposit guarantors.
