What is ALS housing benefit?
The Allocation de Logement Sociale (ALS) is a housing allowance designed to help students with their rental costs. It may be available to students who are renting, subletting or sharing accommodation, provided they meet the relevant eligibility requirements. The amount awarded is based on several factors, including income, housing costs and personal circumstances.
How is ALS calculated?
The amount of housing support you may receive depends on several factors:
- Household income: the applicant’s income and, where applicable, their parents’ financial resources are taken into account.
- Rent: a maximum rent amount is used when calculating the allowance.
- Family circumstances: the amount may vary depending on whether the applicant is single, in a relationship, and whether they have any dependants.
- Location of the accommodation: the area where the property is located also affects the amount of ALS you may be entitled to.
To get an estimate of the support you could receive, use the benefits calculator available on the French Family Allowance Fund (CAF) website.

Follow these steps to submit your ALS application:
- Create a CAF account on the official CAF website.
