Limits of the record
  • Searched L425-11 (PF CESEDA and te-ture extract) and the High Commission pages. The only route text (L425-11: complaint for housing incompatible with human dignity, one-year card, renewal) and the High Commission filing instruction are already cited in this route's other answers (not reusable); no captured source describes a separate request procedure.

What happens after the request: registration, family handling, major support and rights where officially stated?

The temporary residence card is valid for one year and is renewed for the duration of the criminal proceedings, provided the conditions for its issuance continue to be met. The official source does not state registration, family handling, support or rights during the process.

Which competent authority, UN body or official assistance channel should the person use?

The competent immigration channel is the High Commission. The statutory trigger is a criminal complaint concerning housing conditions incompatible with human dignity. The official material does not name a separate local housing-victim assistance body.
