The federal and cantonal asylum centers have been full for months.

The shelter accommodations are bursting at the seams. Despite the support of the military, the current structures are at their limits. A relaxation is currently not in sight. The State Secretariat for Migration (SEM) expects up to 30,000 asylum applications this year.

At the request of the responsible Minister of Justice Elisabeth Baume-Schneider (59), the Federal Council wants to spend CHF 132.9 million to create additional housing. Container villages are mainly planned, which should be ready by the autumn. Because: according to the Federal Council, the biggest bottleneck is expected in the fall of 2023, when the systems currently supplied by the military will no longer be available.

Parliament must decide on additional credit

It is currently unclear how many container systems will be built. It is also not yet known where the container villages should be located. The goal is that Switzerland can continue to house all people seeking protection, according to the state government.

At the same time, an additional burden on the cantons in the second half of 2023 must be avoided. This requires extra living space in good time. However, the Federal Council expects the cantons to contribute to the operating costs, it announced on Wednesday. The corresponding talks will take place in the coming weeks.

The Federal Public Service Justice and Police (FDJP) must develop a global strategy and concept for the realization of temporary housing in the coming weeks. The Bundesrat wants to take a final decision on this before the summer. Parliament will ultimately have to make a decision on the additional appropriation of CHF 132.9 million. (Okay)
