A Dutch court ruled that the government must continue providing shelter services, known as ‘bed-bad-brood’, for 100 rejected asylum seekers in Utrecht beyond January 1, 2025. This decision mirrors a similar ruling in Rotterdam. The minister’s plans to withdraw funding for local municipalities were challenged due to concerns that asylum seekers could end up homeless. The court emphasized the priority of the asylum seekers’ welfare over financial constraints, raising questions about the viability of alternative accommodation options.
