Accommodation in the social housing stock

How to make your request?

To complete your paperwork and register your application for social housing, it’s quickest to do it online at: demande-logement-social.gouv.fr. If you have a paper form, you can also go to one of the registration offices in your area (towns, landlords).

Once registered on the common application file, the application can be seen by all the social housing landlords. Don’t hesitate to make yourself known and contact the landlords directly.

Social housing is subject to specific criteria to be met. You must be able to prove that your income is equal to or below the regulated thresholds, which vary according to your family circumstances and geographical area.
