The CAF (Caisse d'Allocations Familiales) is a French public organization that provides financial aid to tenants, including students, to reduce their rent costs. Programs like APL (Personalized Housing Assistance) and ALS (Social Housing Allowance) can significantly lower the monthly expenses for international students.
Who is eligible for CAF Assistance?
All students, including international ones, can apply for housing aid if they meet certain conditions:
- Renting an apartment, student residence, or shared accommodation.
- Having a rental contract in their name.
- Holding a valid residence permit.
- Not being fiscally dependent on a French household already receiving housing aid.
