It houses status holders who are allowed to remain in the Netherlands, many awaiting housing in the region, and is set to close no later than February 2028.

Timeline
2024
Flow-through facility opened at Kasteel Ooijen
The COA site at Blitterswijckseweg began housing status holders awaiting permanent housing, with closure scheduled by February 2028.
Cost
Dutch asylum reception is funded by central government through the COA. At an illustrative benchmark of about €184 per person per night for emergency reception (noodopvang), the 176 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €12m 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.
