Zoetermeer emergency shelter for asylum seekers

From February 2022, the Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers (COA) will provide temporary emergency shelter in the old prison in Zoetermeer. By asylum seekers we mean people who have fled their homeland and seek protection in our country. Status holders are asylum seekers who have been granted residence status. For information about people from Ukraine (we call them "displaced persons"), please visit www.zoetermeer.nl/oekraine.
