Amsterdam to fund basic shelter for undocumented migrants from own pocket

Undocumented migrants and failed asylum seekers will continue to have access to basic shelter in Amsterdam, the municipality said in response to the plan in the new national government’s coalition agreement to scrap funding for the bed-bath-and-bread scheme. If the Schoof I Cabinet scraps funding, Amsterdam will pay for the shelter, guidance, and care itself in 2025. It will figure out how to continue the scheme after 2025 in the autumn.
