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.
