Noodopvang Wolfheze (Wolfhezerweg)
The Fletcher Hotel on the Wolfhezerweg has housed around 150 nareizigers (family members of recognised refugees) for the COA since March 2024, under an agreement due to expire on 1 March 2026. In February 2026 the COA unilaterally told the municipality of Renkum it intended to keep using the hotel for a further year. Renkum's council refused to back the extension, with the municipality saying the COA's move broke earlier agreements and 'damaged trust'.

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 176 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €12m 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.
