CAF (Caisse d'Allocations Familiales)

CAF is the French agency responsible for distributing family and housing benefits. Its website provides detailed information on eligibility for housing assistance, family allowances, childcare support, and income-based benefits. New residents can learn how to create an account, submit applications, upload documents, and track payments. The platform also explains residency requirements and administrative steps for foreigners. For English-speaking expats, CAF is a key resource for understanding financial support options available in France, especially when settling into long-term housing or managing family-related expenses during the relocation process.
