Noodopvang 's-Gravenhage (Gevers Deynootweg)
A renovated building (the former Jordans Residence) on Gevers Deynootweg in Scheveningen, The Hague, was opened by the COA in February 2025 to house unaccompanied minor asylum seekers aged 15-17, with capacity for around 50. The plan drew neighbourhood concern about concentrating teenagers near the beach. In March 2025 the municipality paused new intake after a night-time fight on 5-6 March, sparked when residents chased suspected bicycle thieves, left four young people injured.

Timeline
May 2024
Neighbourhood concern over plan
Residents and local politicians questioned housing around 60 unaccompanied minors near the beach, citing existing youth nuisance and short notice for an information meeting.

Reception for minors opens
First unaccompanied minors moved into the renovated Gevers Deynootweg location, with capacity for about 50 aged 15-17.

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 22 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €1.5m 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.
