In 2026, Personalized Housing Assistance is the flagship student housing support program. It is paid by the Family Allowance Fund (CAF) or the Agricultural Social Mutual Fund (MSA). For the 2025-2026 academic year, the average amount of assistance awarded is approximately €225/month. Depending on your profile, it can range from €100 to €280 per month. There are three basic conditions for eligibility.

First, your accommodation must be approved by the government. Second, the calculation is based on your income over the last 12 months, updated every quarter. And third, since July 1, 2026, international students from outside the EU who do not receive a scholarship are excluded from the scheme.

The application must be submitted online on the fund's website as soon as the lease is signed. A one-month waiting period applies systematically to the start of the entitlement. This guide gives you all the keys to understanding, anticipating, and optimizing your assistance.
