Noodopvang Eindhoven (Kanaaldijk-Zuid)
The Kanaaldijk-Zuid site in Eindhoven has been a COA emergency reception location since 2022, initially expected to be needed only until the end of that year but kept open far longer. The Red Cross ran the site at first before permanent COA staff took over. The location, which started with around 96 places, was expanded toward roughly 250, and residents from the city's Novotel reception, including minors, were moved to Kanaaldijk-Zuid.

Timeline
Sep 2022
Emergency reception opens
Kanaaldijk-Zuid opens as temporary emergency reception for around 96 asylum seekers, initially run by the Red Cross.
Sep 2024
Expanded toward 250 places
The location is enlarged from about 96 to roughly 250 places, with Novotel residents moved in.
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 216 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.
