How does it work?

Students must show a certificate of registration or a proof of their acceptance by one of the member schools of the Association. By email, they need to specify their specific criteria in the search bar to get help from the Association or, if they prefer to look for themselves, they may access the platform via a password to contact landlords directly.

Housing Aid

CAF Rent Allowance

Allocation Personnalisée au Logement (APL) (Housing Benefit)

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.
