Most Dutch municipalities indicate they will comply with the national law requiring them to house asylum seekers, though often with reservations. Analysis of 212 coalition agreements following March’s local elections reveals only eleven municipalities are mounting significant opposition, and even those largely concede they will ultimately adhere to the law. Common stipulations include demands for small-scale accommodation and prior consultation with residents regarding location choices. Some municipalities express preferences for specific asylum seeker demographics, such as families with children. Concerns are frequently raised about unequal distribution, with municipalities like Heerlen expressing frustration that others are not taking sufficient responsibility. A few, like Maassluis and Hardenberg, are actively seeking ways to minimize or avoid accepting asylum seekers, even challenging the legal boundaries of the mandate.
