Temporary housing

If you have fled from Ukraine, the municipality must arrange housing for you until you can rent accommodation yourself. You can also live temporarily with a host family.

Did you recently arrive in the Netherlands and have no place to sleep with friends or family? Then the Dutch government will make sure you get shelter. Currently, there are four major transit locations in the Netherlands. From a transit location you will be assisted with finding a shelter, food and medical care.

Please go to one of the locations below for a referral to a shelter that has space:

• Amsterdam, Central Station, Oostzijde (opened from 9 am to 9 pm, seven days a week)

• Utrecht, Jaarbeurs, Hal 5 (open Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm)

• Rotterdam, Max Euwelaan 1 (opened 24 hours a day, seven days a week)

Please keep in mind that there is no guarantee that you will be accommodated within your preferred municipality. For example, because there are no shelters available within that municipality.
