Exceptional Housing Assistance for Olim in Ashdod!

Good news for new French-speaking immigrants planning to settle in Ashdod: the State of Israel is stepping up its support to help you integrate successfully with an increased monthly housing allowance!

As part of its national mission to promote Jewish immigration and successful absorption, the Ministry of Aliyah and Integration offers significant rental subsidies for the first two years — with support reaching up to ₪2,239 per month for those who live in designated priority areas like Ashdod.

???? Rental assistance for 24 months
If you are a new immigrant (Oleh Hadash) and do not own a home in Israel, you are entitled to a monthly housing allowance of up to ₪2,239 in cities like Ashdod, Ashkelon, Haifa, Be'er Sheva, Beit Shemesh, Nahariya, Afula, Efrat and others.

In other areas of the country, a general allowance of ₪600/month is available. This program provides crucial support during your initial integration phase — allowing you to focus on learning Hebrew, finding work, and settling in.

???? Planning to buy? Enjoy a major tax benefit!
If you decide to purchase a home in Israel, you can enjoy special tax exemptions as a new immigrant:

No purchase tax on the portion of the property value up to ₪1,978,745.

Only 0.5% tax on the portion between ₪1.97 million and ₪6 million.

Standard rates apply beyond ₪6 million.

The exemption is not granted for properties valued over ₪20 million.

This benefit is available for up to 7 years after your Aliyah, and applies to the purchase of your first residence in Israel.

???????? Ashdod: A top choice for French-speaking Olim
Ashdod is one of the most popular destinations for French-speaking immigrants thanks to its community life, seaside location, French-speaking schools, synagogues, and vibrant culture. It offers a safe and comfortable start to your new life in Israel.

These new benefits demonstrate Israel's clear commitment to ensuring every Oleh feels welcome, supported, and at home.
