If I am an asylum seeker, the OFII can offer me accommodation in the region where I am or in another region when registering my asylum application, at the same time as the Allocation for Seeker. Asylum (card allowing me to pay my expenses).
⚠️ If I refuse the accommodation offered by the OFII, I also lose my asylum seeker allowance.
If the OFII does not not offer accommodation in a structure for asylum seekers when registering my application, he can make me an accommodation offer via:
- SPADA if it is an individual request
- CAFDA if it is an asylum request in PARIS for people with family
I receive the proposal by SMS and I must accept the proposal to avoid to lose material benefits
If I am on the street, in any case:
📞 I call 115 : the emergency number for anyone without accommodation
115 is the single number for centralizing emergency accommodation requests. By calling 115 I will be sent directly to 115 of the department from which I am calling.
Please note: calling 115 does not provide access to a long-term accommodation solution. To find a long-term accommodation solution, I contact a social worker.
📁 I am applying for accommodation with a social worker.
If I am in contact with a social worker, he can apply for accommodation with me from the SIAO, the service which manages the allocation of accommodation places.
I can make a request for accommodation from the SIAO with a social worker if I am poorly housed, accommodated, or on the street.
