Noodopvang Etten-Leur (Mon Plaisir)
In January 2025 the COA established an asylum reception centre at the former Mon Plaisir office building in Etten-Leur, converting it into apartments for up to about 245-250 residents under a three-year agreement with an option to extend. The first residents were expected from late March/early April 2025, and local reporting noted relatively little organised opposition, with residents' meetings held beforehand.

Timeline
Jan 2025
Mon Plaisir designated as asylum reception centre
COA signs an administrative agreement to house up to ~250 asylum seekers at Mon Plaisir 40 for three years (extendable by two), and begins converting the office building into apartments.
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 245 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €16m 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.
