Social Housing Allowance (A.L.S.)

Students living in university halls of residence may be entitled to A.L.S.

The application form should be obtained directly from the Caisse de la cité (housing office) of the halls of residence to which they belong. 

Students renting a studio flat or a flat in the city may be entitled to a housing allowance under certain conditions.

The application must be made to the Caisse d'Allocations Familiales (CAF):

Visale scheme

The "Caution locative Étudiante" (Clé), a security deposit for students, has been substituted with the Visale program managed by Action Logement, which functions as a guarantor for applicants.

This complimentary service is extremely simple to request (refer to the Action Logement "tenant brochure" for additional details).

It's important to note that these formalities must be completed prior to signing the rental agreement. Additionally, you have the option to combine this assistance with the Mobili-Jeune initiative available to individuals under the age of 30, whether they are apprentices or participating in work-based training programs within the private sector.
