Noodopvang Rijswijk ZH (Lange Kleiweg)
In May 2025 the municipality of Rijswijk reopened a temporary asylum seekers' centre at Lange Kleiweg, with capacity for up to around 350 people for a two-year period, partly in response to the national Spreidingswet (Distribution Act). The site had previously been used to house asylum seekers between 2016 and 2022 before being converted to flexible housing. The first residents arrived in mid-May 2025, with local reporting highlighting a large turnout of volunteers and a welcoming reception rather than any incidents.

Rijswijk's new coalition (May 2026) decided not to renew the COA contract for the azc on the Lange Kleiweg, so the reception there is to close in May 2027; the municipality says it has provided more than its share since 2016.

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 343 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €23m 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.
