What are the resource ceilings for the PLA in 2025?

Publié le 08 janvier 2025 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

Personalized housing assistance (CHA) helps reduce your rent. The level of support depends on several factors, including your resources and family situation. The resource ceilings for the maximum amount of LPAs were updated on 1er January 2025.

The amount of personalized housing assistance (LHA) is calculated specifically for each household taking into account many factors, including:

  • the number of children you care for;
  • the rent of your accommodation;
  • your household income.

Each year, a ceiling of annual resources, called ‘R0’, is established, representing the amount of resources below which aid can be received at its maximum level. Thus, a household with annual resources of less than or equal to R0 receives the maximum amount of personalized housing assistance to which it is entitled. The more your revenues exceed this limit, the lower your LPA amount.

The resource ceilings for 2025 were set by an order published in the Official Journal of 31 December 2024. These thresholds apply to benefits payable to you on or after 1er January 2025.
