The APL stands for “Aide Personnalisée au Logement” and is a financial aid from the Caisse d’Allocations Familales (CAF) meant to reduce your monthly rent, giving you housing subsidies.  You can apply for the subsidies as soon as you receive your access card by following the instructions that we will send you by email after your arrival.  The CAF will then study your application and decides whether or not you are eligible for the APL.  In the case you are eligible, the CAF will send the subsidies on your ALEGESSEC account and the amount received will be automatically deducted from your rent.  ALEGESSEC will not be responsible for any delays in the APL payments, and if so, you would be liable for the amount of your entire rent.
