On March 21, 2024, the City Council adopted the amended frameworks for the development, realization and operation of the Pastoorsmast shelter site. These frameworks form the starting points for the management agreement that the college concludes with COA. This council decision enables the establishment of an asylum seekers' center at the Pastoorsmast. 

The asylum center at Pastoorsmast will provide housing for 159 asylum seekers for five years, with the intention to extend the agreement to 10 years. An annual evaluation will take place. With the number of 159, Nuenen exactly meets the task imposed on our municipality by the dispersal law.
