What are the other aids?

There are other aids if you move:

• Solidarity Fund for Housing (FSL) which varies from one department to another. You can benefit from it if you find yourself in a difficult personal situation. Contact directly your CAC or your MSA, the social action center of the City of Paris or your City Hall if you live in another municipality. A social worker will be in charge of making a request for help.
• Aid for the installation of State personnel (AIP) (reserved for officials, contract staff...). The amount varies from €700 to €1,500 depending on the situation. Find out more about the State social action site.
• The Disability Compensation Benefit (DCP). This aid is intended to compensate for the loss of independence of persons with disabilities for whom the removal costs can be covered to the tune of €3 000. For more information, please visit myscourshandicap.gouv.fr.
• Aid according to the collective agreement. If you are an employed person, care may be provided and/or a day off (or more) may also be granted for the move.
