French housing aid (APL) is conditional on the recipient's main residence being in France. For Moroccans who spend several weeks in Morocco, this can jeopardize their eligibility if the French home is no longer considered their primary residence.

According to the French National Family Allowance Fund (CNAF), the APL is intended for housing that serves as the main home. Absences of more than a few months may lead to a reassessment of the situation, potentially resulting in the suspension or loss of the benefit.

It is advisable for beneficiaries to inform the CNAF of any prolonged absence and to ensure they can prove that their French home remains their main residence, for example by maintaining utility bills and tax documents.
