Noodopvang Blaricum (Rijksstraatweg)
The former Tergooi hospital on the Rijksstraatweg in Blaricum was converted into a throughflow reception location, with the COA and the municipality agreeing to house up to 250 status holders under strict conditions, including no unaccompanied minors, a maximum length of stay and priority for people from the Gooi and Vechtstreek region. The first residents moved in during May 2024, and by November 2024 there were around 237 residents. A group of local residents pursued legal action against the site over concerns about nuisance and livability.

Timeline
May 2024
First residents move into former Tergooi hospital
The first status holders move into the throughflow reception location; the municipality has set conditions including no unaccompanied minors, a maximum stay and priority for the Gooi and Vechtstreek region.
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 213 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €14m 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.
