Housing aid
Students are eligible for several housing aids to help them cope with this pivotal period between training and entry into working life. Your housing assistance is calculated on the basis of your resources and those of other tenants over the last twelve months.
- Beware: wages or income received by your parents are not included in the calculation.
One of the expenses that can't be avoided is taking out home insurance. To save on the total amount of the insurance premium, opt for a lump-sum payment. This tip will enable you to benefit from a better price with the insurer. And with the savings on your premium, you'll even be able to choose more cover on your home insurance for better coverage.
In 2024, multiple subsidies are available to tenants in precarious situations to cope with rising energy prices. The main energy-related subsidy is called the energy voucher. This is aid for paying housing energy bills.
To check whether you are eligible for the energy voucher, please visit the site by clicking here .You can find online directories of housing aids that include grants to facilitate professional integration, help with rent, the purchase of a vehicle, spare parts, tires in order to get to your place of work as well as help with passing your code de la route, and much more.
For your housing subsidies, you can simultaneously apply for subsidies from CROUS, Action Logement and CAF. These 3 bodies will provide you with assistance that can be combined with each other. These will help you in your daily life with your energy bills, your food, your rent or your daily activities, such as taking your driving test. You can find the prices on Ornikar. Remember to make these requests as far in advance as possible for optimum support, and fill in your applications online.
As a reminder, you will never be asked to give your credit card details, if your card gets blocked following a payment on a terminal de paiement pour commerçant, go to Perceval, the government platform that will tell you what to do.
