more than half of the member states on February 1, fewer refugees have been housed, then they are in accordance with the law. According to the province, the shortage of social housing and lack of logged-on to the refugees, the main reasons for the municipalities to be a few people recording it.
according to figures published by the government shows that, of the 180 local municipalities on February 1, 2020, a deficit out to 2019 with the housing of asylum seekers. The county has the responsibility to verify whether the municipalities have sufficient refugees to be accommodated. NU.nl early in the provinces, therefore, why there are still so many churches are behind the curve.
How do you decide how many refugees to be a city host? Each and every half a year, controls the Government how many refugees they are required to act as host. This will be determined on the basis of the estimate of the number of refugees who have a residence permit, and the number of people in the community. Smaller communities have less people in house than a big one. Social housing units, and an insufficient number of applications < / p> NU.nl asked about the placement of asylum seekers in the past four years. At the time of publication, there are only the province of Friesland, has no answer.
Seven of the eleven states responding said that the situation in the housing market and the shortage of social rented housing is the main reason that churches sometimes are not enough for refugees to be accommodated.
The majority of the provinces wrote also, that it may be impossible for local authorities to meet the statutory requirement, because they are the Central agency for asylum Seekers (COA) is not enough for the refugees with a residence permit and to get registered.
in The Dutch province of Drenthe, saying that since the start of 2019 at the latest, the COA does not have enough refugees with a residence permit to the local municipalities and can refer you, because of delays by the authorities to assess whether a person is a resident permit is given.
communities with a large backlog to get to more of the refugees assigned to
as to The COA’s are fighting the perception that it is, in general, fewer of the refugees with a residence permit, than the municipalities in accordance with the law, to be included. A spokesman from the COA says that in 2018, however, it was decided to have municipalities that are very much behind the curve on the housing of refugees, more refugees to host, so they are catching up their lost time. This meant that, according to the COA, that some of the other towns have less of the refugees were.
as to The COA, is also said to be trying to make sure that every branch have enough of the refugees to comply with the law. “And if a church is saying to us is that the house is available to you, so we make sure that there is to be a refugee, to be placed, even if the person is actually linked to a different branch. There are no houses to be empty because there are no refugees.”
Counties warn of the rare
finally, The COA recognizes that there is a shortage of social rented housing and refugees with a residence permit and sometimes had a long wait before a church can be.
for example, If a municipality is a prolonged period of time, to few people in the home, can the county give a warning and, eventually, take action. On the 12th of February, it announced that the North of Holland, that if the city of Amsterdam is not more refugees, is home to the county at the expense of the municipality, to ensure that the ‘status athletes’ in Amsterdam to be able to be placed.
This kind of warnings appear to be rare. This was the first time that the North of Holland, so as a warning you gave them, and the other provinces have to write that they have never had a warning, and have given out, or that they are mostly these are distributed in 2016 and 2017, when the churches take in more refugees had to be accommodated than they are now.
Why warn of the provinces, no? < / p> The reasons why you do not have to warn you as a church have too few of the refugees home, according to the provinces, which have the disadvantage that the municipality will not be responsible for, or to local authorities for the deficit in a relatively short period of time, have been resolved. Of the states that have responded, it has only in Groningen for themselves, and intervention in a municipality in 2016.
The number of municipalities the figures presented do not comply with the statutory requirement, it will take time. It was at the beginning of this year, forty less than the previous year. At the moment, waiting for nearly six thousand refugees who have a residence permit for a dwelling. According to the COA, the number is stable.
