Asylum Shelter: AZC Zevenbergen
The Zevenbergen Asylum Seekers’ Center on Schansdijk has been open since July 1, 2025. The center can accommodate up to 200 residents. The permit has been granted for a maximum of 10 years.
The management agreement between the COA and the municipality stipulates that the facility will provide housing for:
- Preferably, all status holders registered with the municipality should be prioritized. These are asylum seekers who have been granted residence status and are registered with the municipality of Moerdijk. Being registered means that the municipality of Moerdijk is required to find housing for them.
- Next are status holders who are waiting for housing elsewhere in the region. From the reception center, it is easier for them to get a head start on their integration into the community where they will eventually live.
- Finally, foreign nationals with a promising asylum application, preferably with a recommendation for placement in the region.
- Only if there is still space available at the facility will the COA proceed to admit another target group of asylum seekers with an active asylum application or—if the COA has no need for additional asylum shelter—lease the facility to the municipality for (community-based) shelter for other target groups.
This means that the reception center houses both people who have been granted residency status and those whose cases are still pending. Asylum seekers living in the reception center who are notified that their application has been denied must leave the center within 28 days. The COA provides them with guidance during this process.
