The 'Caisse d'allocation familiale' (CAF) offers financial support to students in the form of monthly housing benefits which lower their rental costs. There are two different types of allowances: the 'individualised aid for accommodation' (APL) and the 'aid for accommodation' (AL).

- Non European students staying in France for one year
- Non European students staying in France for one semester who registered to the French National Health Security
- Necessary documents:
