What are the conditions for obtaining social housing?

Verified 01 January 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

To obtain social housing (or low-cost housing), you must apply for it and not exceed a maximum income. This maximum amount depends in particular on the number of people to be housed and the location of the accommodation (Île-de-France, province, overseas).

Île-de-France

You can simulate your eligibility, given the amount of your income. Be careful, there are situations where this maximum amount can be exceeded.

Simulate eligibility for social housing

You must use the following simulator:

Know if you are eligible for social housing

FYI  

You can apply for social housing, regardless of the amount of your income and the result given by the simulator.

Know the maximum income amount

To obtain a dwelling, the total annual income of persons to be housed may not exceed a maximum amount.

The annual income is the reference tax income of year n-2, which is recorded on the tax notice for year n-1. For a housing application made in 2024, these are reference tax revenue for 2022, listed on the 2023 tax assessment.

The persons to be housed are the following:

  • Yourself (applicant)
  • Your co-applicant : Civil partnerships' or cohabiting spouse or partner, or a member of your family who is not dependent on you (only among these: grandfather, grandmother, mother, father, son, daughter, granddaughter, grandson, brother, sister)
  • People and children figurative on your tax notice or that of your co-applicant. These include children with disabilities of all ages, children under the age of 21 (including alternating care if declared at the home of each parent), students under the age of 25, and persons with a disability-inclusive mobility card (or disability card).
  • Children rights of access and accommodation

FYI  

the roommate shall not be counted in the persons to be housed.

The maximum amount depends on the municipality where the social housing is located:

    • Non-Conciliation Order
    • Copy of the document referring the matter to the family court
    • Proof from a lawyer that the procedure for divorce by mutual consent is ongoing
    • Judge's decision or protection order issued by the Family Court Judge (in case of emergency)

Your Civil partnership or partner is hosted in Ehpad

If your spouse or partner Civil partnerships: titleContent is hosted in a Ehpad: titleContent, the accommodation costs which you pay may be deducted from your income.

You must make one application file per department

To obtain accommodation, you must make an application by department (except for the Île-de-France region).

For example, if you want a home in Aurillac (department 15) or Kourou (department 973) or Laon (department 02), you need to make 3 application files.

The waiting time for social housing varies depending on the department requested. For each department, it is possible to know the abnormally long waiting time to obtain social housing.

The waiting time before a room is offered to you varies greatly. It depends in particular on the following:

  • Your personal situation (for example, the request of a person with a disability, poorly housed, without housing, threatened with eviction or victim of violence is a priority)
  • The type of accommodation (number of rooms, whether shared or not...) and the municipality requested. You can consult the number of social housing units for each municipality.
