Migration - Refugee accommodation has many places available again
The refugee shelters in the state of Lower Saxony, which were practically full in the fall, now have many places available again. As the Ministry of the Interior in Hanover announced in response to an inquiry, there are currently (as of December 18) just under 15,000 places available, including emergency accommodation, of which only around 40 percent are occupied. At the beginning of October, the state reception authority's 10,000 places were practically full. The fact that the exhibition grounds near Hanover can once again be used for accommodation has recently provided some relief.
A ministry spokesperson explained that due to the lower occupancy rate, the reception authority could reserve more places for the last week of December 2023 and the first week of January 2024. "During this period, there will be a so-called Christmas break, during which allocations will only take place if the individual municipality so wishes," he said. Migrants will be distributed from the country's accommodation centers to the cities and municipalities.
The number of initial applications for asylum in Lower Saxony from January to the end of November was 30,039, which was around 40 percent more than in the previous year, but less than in the same period in 2015 and 2016.

The refugee accommodation in Hanover, a city located in Lower Saxony, is now offering more places due to lower occupancy rates, as announced by the Ministry of the Interior in Hanover. This development is significant for the refugee situation in the state, which has seen a steady increase in initial asylum applications from January to November.
Despite the increased demand for refugee accommodation in Lower Saxony, the current situation allows for the reservation of additional places for the end of December 2023 and the beginning of January 2024. This is partly due to the exhibition grounds near Hanover becoming available for accommodation again.
The City of Hanover, being a part of Lower Saxony, has played a role in the migration and refugee accommodations, experiencing changes in occupancy rates and accommodation availability in response to the ongoing migration and refugee situation.
