azc 's-Gravendeel (Kilweg)
The asylum centre on the Kilweg in 's-Gravendeel (municipality of Hoeksche Waard) is one of the longest-running in the Netherlands, operating since 1992 and embedded in village life through volunteers and local projects. Under the 2024 Spreidingswet, Hoeksche Waard was required to provide 500 reception places, so the COA added temporary housing units on the grounds, taking capacity to around 500 by August 2025. The council approved a new long-term administrative agreement for the site in 2025.

New long-term agreement and expansion
Hoeksche Waard approved a new administrative agreement; capacity grew to around 500 places under the Spreidingswet.
Cost
Dutch asylum reception is funded by central government through the COA. At an illustrative benchmark of about €80 per person per night for a regular centre, the 252 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €7.4m per year. This is an order-of-magnitude figure for context only, not a site-specific invoice — emergency reception typically runs around three times the cost of a regular centre.
