Relocation and housing : assistance to ease the transition

Ayuda a la vivienda para facilitar la transición

A professional transfer can be a decisive step in a career, but it often involves a change of accommodation, complex administrative procedures and a move to organize. Without support, this transition can quickly become a source of stress. That’s why it’s essential to be aware of the assistance available, and to enlist the help of experts to make each step easier.

There are several schemes available to help mitigate the financial and logistical impact of a move. Muter Loger, a specialist in professional and residential mobility, assists employees and their families to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Financial assistance to ease the transition

  1. Moving allowance from the CAF

Large families can benefit from a moving allowance, granted under certain conditions by the Caisse d’Allocations Familiales (CAF). This assistance is designed to cover part of the moving costs, enabling the families concerned to reduce their expenses linked to transporting furniture and relocation costs.

To qualify, certain conditions must be met, particularly those relating to household composition and the reason for the move. This assistance helps to ensure a smoother transition, especially for families who need to move quickly to a new home.

   2. Installation assistance for civil servants (AIP)

Civil servants are eligible for AIP, which is designed to alleviate the costs associated with settling in after a transfer. This assistance covers various costs, such as initial rent, security deposit and agency fees.

The amount depends on a number of criteria, including the area to be relocated to and the conditions of the transfer. The aim is to make it easier for civil servants to settle into their new home, without the initial costs becoming an obstacle to professional mobility.

Specific assistance according to professional status

  1. Change of residence allowance (ICR) for civil servants

Civil servants who are transferred to a new location may be entitled to an allowance to cover the cost of changing residence (ICR). This allowance is intended to cover the cost of transporting furniture and personal effects during a transfer.

The amount granted is calculated on the basis of the distance between the old and new homes, and the volume of goods transported. The ICR thus helps to limit the financial impact of the move and to encourage the mobility of civil servants.

   2. Employer assistance and collective agreements

Some companies offer specific assistance to help their employees through a transfer. These schemes, which are included in collective agreements or negotiated on a case-by-case basis, can include :

  • Partial or full payment of moving expenses.
  • A contribution to installation costs, such as the security deposit or the first month’s rent.
  • Dedicated days off for the move, enabling employees to manage their relocation without impacting their professional activity.

We recommend that you contact your company’s human resources department to find out what assistance is available, so as to optimize the conditions of your move.
