Timeline
Feb 2024
COA opens reception at Campanile hotel
The COA begins housing up to 150 asylum seekers, mostly women, at the Campanile hotel on De Brand; the permit runs to 2030 with three-monthly evaluations.
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 165 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €11m 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.
