CARA di Castelnuovo di Porto (ex centro di accoglienza, gestione Cooperativa Auxilium)
Castelnuovo di Porto, Lazio · Lazio
Managed by Cooperativa Auxilium (manager 2014–2019) · ~500 places
According to Il Post (22 January 2019), the CARA of Castelnuovo di Porto — then one of Italy's largest reception centres, run since 2014 by the Cooperativa Auxilium — held 503 residents when the government ordered its closure, completed by 31 January 2019 as the prefecture convention expired. Il Post noted the official reason was 'non ancora chiara'; about 107 staff, mostly Auxilium employees, lost their jobs. The closure followed the 2018 security decree.
