turvapaikkakodeissa

Turvapaikkakodeissa are temporary housing facilities in Finland designed to accommodate asylum seekers and refugees. These accommodations provide a safe and basic living environment while their asylum applications are being processed. The facilities can vary in size and type, ranging from larger reception centers to smaller housing units spread across different municipalities.

Residents in turvapaikkakodeissa typically share living spaces, such as bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms. The Finnish Immigration Service (Migri) or its contracted partners are responsible for managing these centers and providing essential services to the residents. These services often include meals, access to healthcare, social support, and information regarding the asylum process.

The goal of turvapaikkakodeissa is to offer a stable and secure base for individuals and families who have fled their home countries due to persecution or conflict. While living in these centers, asylum seekers are expected to cooperate with authorities and participate in the integration process where applicable. The duration of stay in these accommodations depends on the length of the asylum application processing. Once a decision is made, residents may move to other forms of housing if their application is approved, or they may be required to leave the country if it is rejected.
