Timeline
Mar 2024
Emergency reception opens at Fletcher hotel
The COA housed up to 220 asylum seekers at the hotel, capped at a maximum of one year by the municipality.
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 220 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €15m 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.
