What is the immediate impact of Minister Faber's decision to not enforce the provision of asylum seeker housing?

Dutch Minister Faber has decided against forcing municipalities and provinces to provide more asylum seeker housing, despite a shortfall. While the target of 96,000 spaces wasn't met, almost 90,000 have been secured, prompting a six-month extension to find the remaining places. This decision comes despite the COA, responsible for asylum seeker housing, estimating a need for 115,000 spaces by January 1, 2026.
