What support is provided by the Solidarity Fund for Housing (SLF)?

The FSL grants 2 forms of aid:

• grant
• or a loan (to be repaid).

Such aid must be used, in particular, to pay the costs of:

• on entry into the dwelling (security deposit1^to rent, agency fee, removal costs, housing insurance, buying furniture from 1^re necessity, ...),
• maintenance in housing (rent debts and charges, electricity and gas bills, water and phone, bailiff's fees...).

• Tenant and sub-tenant
• Owner occupier
• Free person
• Resident of home

The SLF shall take into account all the resources of all persons living in the dwelling, except for the following:

• Housing aid
• School Reentry Allowance (ARS)
• Education allowance for disabled children (AEEH)

Each SLF has its own rules of procedure and therefore its own award criteria. Some departments provide SLF assistance on the condition that the home receives only the activity premium.. In addition, your income can be taken into account: a low-income household can get more help than a higher-income household.

You must contact a social worker (social worker, counselor in social economy and family, ...).

It is possible to meet them, depending on the case:

• at the communal social action center (or social service) of your town hall,
• in budget tip point ..

This social worker may also offer you a social support, that is to say, follow you to solve your difficulties.

The allocation of aid from the FSL is not systematic. In particular, aid may be refused where the amount of rent and charges is considered too high in relation to the household's resources.
