Dutch Minister Urges Municipal Shelters for Asylum Seekers

Dutch Minister Van den Brink is asking municipalities to provide temporary housing for asylum seekers and refugees to prevent the existing housing capacity from becoming overwhelmed. There is a shortage of 4500 housing places, expected to rise to 7900 by the end of summer. The government is threatening to force municipalities to provide housing if they fail to meet their obligations, amidst ongoing political tensions surrounding asylum centers.
