Custom Housing Assistance (APL)
Verified 05 July 2023 - Legal and Administrative Information Directorate (Prime Minister)
Are you looking for financial assistance to reduce your rent (or royalty if you are an institutional resident)? You can benefit from personalized housing assistance (APL) if you meet certain conditions. We will tell you what the process is to benefit from it depending on your situation.
What applies to you ?
You're a tenant
It all depends on your diet: general (Caf) or agricultural (MSA).
You are covered by the general scheme (Cf)
To find out if you can collect the LPA, you can use the Family Allowance Fund (CFA) simulator:
Cif: Estimate his entitlement to housing benefits and calculate his amount
You are covered by the Agricultural Scheme (AMM)
To find out if you can receive the APL, you can use the Agricultural Social Mutual Society (ASM) simulator:
MSA: Estimate his entitlement to housing benefits and calculate his amount
Conditions related to your situation
You can benefit from the APL if you are in one of the following situations:
- You're a tenant
- You are a sub-tenant (declared to the owner) of a fully or partially rented dwelling, provided you are elderly under 30 or to be housed in a family friendly
No minimum age requirement is required. Therefore, you can be a minor and receive the PLA, but the lease must be signed by your parents. The rent receipt can be made out in your name. If you are emancipated minor, the lease must be in your name.
You can request the APL for a single dwelling (your principal residence), only. In addition, the PLA applies to all persons in the household.
Warning
The APL is not due if you are tenant of a dwelling of which you, your spouse or one of your ascendants or descendants, enjoy a share of the property or the usufruct, personally or through business shares.
You can benefit from the APL if you are a foreigner or a national of a EU Member State or the European Economic Area (Eea) or Switzerland with a valid residence permit.
Please note
in the presence of children in alternate care, each parent may obtain the PLA, but only for the cumulative period during which each parent takes the child into their home during the year.
Conditions related to your accommodation
The APL is awarded for your principal residence located in France and only if your accommodation respects certain standards of decency and minimum conditions of occupation.
The dwelling must be agreed. Your landlord has to tell you (most low-cost housing is contracted).
Conditions related to your resources
The PLA shall be awarded on a means-tested basis and in accordance with certain ceilings varies depending on the composition of your home and the location of your accommodation.
All the assets of the persons who make up the household (spouse, Civil partnership partner, common-law partner) are taken into account on the Last 12 months.
They are updated automatically every 3 months. So you don't have to do anything.
Caf or MSA automatically recovers the amount of your assets, in particular from the tax department of Pôle emploi.
FYI
you cannot touch the APL if you are attached to the tax shelter of your paying parents the real estate wealth tax (IFI).
It all depends on your diet: general (Caf) or agricultural (MSA).
You are covered by the general scheme (Cf)
Your request for an APL must be made directly online :

- Value of your real estate and financial assets and those of the person with whom you live as a couple and of the persons usually living in your household, where this value is greater than €30,000
- Amount of your rent
You are covered by the Agricultural Scheme (AMM)
To find out the amount of your APL, you can use the MSA simulator:
MSA: Estimate his entitlement to housing benefits and calculate his amount
The amount of the APL is calculated on the basis of scales which take into account the following elements:
- Number of dependants usually living in your household
- Amount of your resources, those of the person with whom you live as a couple (spouse, Civil partnership partner, cohabiting partner) and those of the persons who usually live in your household
- Value of your real estate and financial assets and those of the person with whom you live as a couple and of the persons usually living in your household, where this value is greater than €30,000
- Amount of your rent
The PLA is generally directly paid to the lessor which deducts it from the amount of rent due.
The PLA is due to from 1er day following the month of your request. The payment takes place every 5 of the month.
Example :
You move in on October 15, rights will open in November and on October 1er payment will take place on 5 december.
Yes, the payment of the APL may be suspended or interrupted in the following cases:
- the accommodation no longer fills the mandatory decency criteria or you refuse to have agents come in to check that these criteria are met
- You don't pay your rent anymore
- You do not provide the necessary proof to maintain your APL (for example, valid residence permit justifying the regularity of your stay in France if you are a foreigner)
You can make a appeal against the decision rejecting your application.
This remedy differs depending on whether you are under the general scheme (Cf) or the agricultural scheme (MSA). The procedure may also vary depending on where you live.

HOUSING AID
10 key questions on the PLA
Personalized housing assistance (PLA) helps reduce your rent or royalty if you are a tenant or resident in an institution. It is subject to conditions.
Is the PLA due as soon as my rights are opened?
No, no, no. The APL is due from the first day following the month of your request. Payment is made every 5 months.
For example, you move in on October 15, the rights will open in November and on October 1er payment will take place on 5 december.
Can I apply for the PLA for my second home?
No, no, no. The LPA is only granted for your principal residence, that is, the residence you occupy for a minimum of 8 months per year (subject to exceptions).
Do I qualify for the PLA if the house belongs to my family?
No if your owner is an ascendant (father, mother, grandfather, grandmother...) or descendant (child, grandson, granddaughter...) of yourself or your Civil partnership or partner.
Yes if you have another direct relationship with the owner of the house (brother, sister, uncle, aunt, cousin, nephew, niece...).
Can I get the PLA if I am a student?
Yeah. Yeah. You can get the APL if you rent a house.
When you apply, you must indicate your taxable personal resources (salaries, scholarships, savings income...).
Please note that if you receive the PLA, your parents will no longer receive family benefits for you. However, you can continue to be attached to your parents' tax home.
Can I touch the APL if I am in a roommate?
Yeah. Yeah. Each roommate can receive the PLA. Everyone must have their name on the lease and declare their personal income when applying for a PLA. The calculation of the aid takes into account the share of rent paid by each.
Can I receive the APL if I am subleased?
Yeah. Yeah. Both the tenant and the sub-tenant of a portion of the unit can receive the LPA provided they meet certain criteria:
· the sub-tenant must be under 30 or over 60 or have a disability
· the owner of the dwelling must have been informed of the sublease
Please note that these rules do not apply for a sublease of the entire dwelling.
Does my LPA increase if my rent goes up?
No, no, no. The increase in your rent will not be taken into account immediately in the calculation of your LPA during the year.
However, at 1er January of the following year, your CFOC will automatically recalculate your LPA based on your rent from the previous July.
Is the PLA payment maintained if I can no longer pay my rent?
No, with some exceptions. If you have not paid your rent for at least 2 months, your LPA payment may be interrupted.
If my family or work situation changes, will my LPA amount change?
Yeah. Yeah. Any change in the situation of each household member can change the amount of your APL. You must promptly inform your CFOA to allow the calculation of your new rights.
I'm splitting up. Can I continue to receive the APL if my child is on alternate care?
Yeah. Yeah. Each parent may obtain the LPA, but only for the period during which the parent takes the child into his or her home during the year (pro rata rule).
Can I keep the PLA if I move?
Yes, but you need to reapply for this new unit.
Did you know that?
You can use a simulator to estimate your PLA entitlements.
