Noodopvang Papendrecht (Seringenstraat)
The building at Seringenstraat in Papendrecht housed around 50 unaccompanied minor asylum seekers until the end of March 2026, when the municipality closed that AMV reception as planned. The municipality then proposed reusing the former asylum building from autumn 2026 to temporarily house 25-40 status holders for about a year, as Papendrecht had a backlog in housing people with residence permits. As of late May 2026 no final decision had been taken, with resident consultation and a council discussion scheduled.

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 49 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €3.3m 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.
