Een opvanglocatie in de buurt kan vragen oproepen. Op deze pagina beantwoorden wij veelgestelde vragen van omwonenden over onderwerpen als veiligheid, overlast en de rol van TM Opvang & Projectmanagement. Daarnaast vindt u meer informatie over onze communicatie en hoe u contact met ons op kunt nemen.

Why this FAQ?

Refugees become a temporary part of the local community. When a reception center is established in the neighborhood, it’s natural for local residents to have questions about it. That’s why we’re committed to providing clear information and want to foster connections with local residents and the surrounding community. In the FAQ below, we answer frequently asked questions about our reception centers.

FAQ for Local Residents: Frequently Asked Questions About Shelter Locations Where TM Is Involved

Who is TM Opvang & Projectmanagement?

TM Opvang & Projectmanagement ondersteunt gemeenten, veiligheidsregio’s en partners bij opvanglocaties. Wij zijn betrokken bij onder andere locatiemanagement, woonbegeleiding, crisisopstart, projectleiding en operationele ondersteuning.
Our role varies by location. Sometimes we are solely responsible for day-to-day management at a location. In other cases, we provide support in areas such as resident support, safety, quality of life, communication, or collaboration with relevant partners.

TM Opvang & Projectmanagement is geen overheidsinstelling en beslist dus niet over de komst van een opvanglocatie. Die verantwoordelijkheid ligt bij de gemeente, het Rijk, COA of andere bevoegde partijen, afhankelijk van de situatie. Wij helpen alleen met de uitvoering ervan en zorgen ervoor dat die zo soepel mogelijk verloopt.

Wat doet TM Opvang & Projectmanagement op een opvanglocatie?

Shelter is more than just setting up beds at a location. We provide structure, oversight, and guidance at the shelter. This may include:

  • Day-to-day management of the site
  • Support for Residents
  • Explanation of House Rules and Agreements
  • Contribute to activities for residents, such as language classes and volunteer work
  • Identifying Concerns or Tensions
  • Coordination with the municipality, security, healthcare, and other partners
  • Organizing Communication with Residents

How is security organized on and around the site?

Safety starts with clear guidelines, visibility, and cooperation. That is why, at reception centers, we implement house rules, designate points of contact, and provide guidance and supervision. We coordinate these measures with the relevant parties.

Depending on the location, there may be collaboration with:

  • The municipality
  • Healthcare Providers
  • COA
  • Refugee Services
  • Security
  • Neighborhood Partners
  • The police
  • Other organizations involved

TM Opvang & Projectmanagement kijkt niet alleen naar incidenten, maar ook naar preventie. Om spanning te voorkomen zorgen we voor duidelijke communicatie, dagstructuur en bewonersbegeleiding.

What happens in the event of disturbances or incidents?

We take reports of disturbances or incidents seriously. Depending on the situation, we determine what is necessary: a meeting with residents, additional support, coordination with security, contact with the municipality, or the involvement of other partners.

In acute or dangerous situations, always call 112.

For non-urgent concerns, please use the contact channel set up for that location. To do so, go to tmopvang.nl/locations

What house rules apply to residents?

Every residential facility has its own house rules. These house rules are important for maintaining peace, safety, and a pleasant living environment both on the premises and in the surrounding area. The rules cover topics such as quiet hours, visitors, and the use of common areas, as well as safety, respectful behavior, and interactions with staff and fellow residents.

TM Opvang & Projectmanagement helpt bewoners om deze regels te begrijpen en na te leven.

How are local residents kept informed?

The way in which local residents are informed varies by municipality and location. This is often done through municipal websites, letters to residents, informational meetings, or news reports.

TM Opvang & Projectmanagement is soms betrokken bij deze communicatie. Dan ondersteunen wij gemeenten door bijvoorbeeld input te leveren voor vragen, praktische informatie of signalen vanuit de locatie.

Can residents participate in neighborhood activities?

Whenever possible, we encourage residents to participate in appropriate ways in activities taking place near the shelter. These include language activities, sports, social gatherings, volunteer work, or other local initiatives.

Of course, this is always done carefully and in coordination with the municipality, partners, and the surrounding community.

How is communication with the neighborhood organized?

Engagement with the neighborhood can be organized in various ways. For example, through drop-in sessions, informational meetings, contact persons, or local activities.

Bij TM Opvang & Projectmanagement vinden we het belangrijk dat er korte lijnen zijn met de omgeving. Signalen uit de buurt helpen ons om de opvang beter te laten verlopen.

What can I do if I have an idea?

Ideas from the neighborhood are definitely welcome! Think of sports activities, language buddies, community evenings, and other volunteer work focused on bringing people together and providing support. Not everything is always possible right away, but we’d be happy to see what we can do.

U kunt uw idee delen via de contactgegevens van de locatie of via TM Opvang & Projectmanagement.

Where can I go with questions about policy or decision-making?

If you have questions about choosing a location, permits, or municipal policy, please contact your local municipality. We provide support for the operation of the shelter, but we do not make decisions regarding the location ourselves.

Who should I contact if I have questions or concerns?
