Step by step how to apply for housing assistance on the CAF website
It’s up to you to compete the process yourself; request ar made online on the company website CAF
The files are taken into account form the date of the request but the month of your arrival does not give right to housing assistance, the calculation of the assistance starts the following month.
ALS or APL payments are monthly; Housing tips is only taken into account from the month following the date of your request and the first payment is made retroactively within approximately 2 months.
We therefore advise you to make your request in the month of your arrival at La MAISEL, before the last day of the month ; it will then be up to you to follow the progress of your file using your confidential identifiers which will be communicated to you by the CAF.
