After 25 years, the city of Roeselare is discontinuing its reception center for asylum seekers. Originally, the center was intended as a temporary residence during the asylum process. However, it now primarily houses people who have already been recognized as refugees and have nowhere else to go. The subsidies the city receives from Fedasil for this purpose are insufficient.
