But the Council of State said the lack of shelter for single male asylum-seekers in Belgium was now “structural” rather than “temporary.” It added that the group also lacks “access to effective legal protection because the Belgian authorities fail to comply with court rulings and fail to pay penalty payments.”
Belgian authorities’ “indifference” toward addressing those shortcomings has snowballed into a “systemic failure,” the Council of State said.
Belgium prioritizes families and women when offering asylum shelter; single men must register on a waiting list.
As of last week, there were 1,800 men on that list. The number has been decreasing in recent months and many of them “are receiving temporary shelter in homeless shelters in Brussels,” Fedasil, Belgium’s asylum agency, said.
