To whom and on what terms
The municipality entitled to additional support has concluded an agreement with the ELY Centre on the allocation to the municipality and the promotion of integration, and it has an active integration programme.
The municipality must commit to receiving refugees in need of urgent relocation during the calendar year. If the conditions are met, additional support may be granted to municipalities that have committed themselves to receiving refugees in the previous year, but the reception of persons in need of urgent relocation has been postponed to the following year for reasons independent of the municipality. The preparation measures for reception must be agreed upon in writing and in advance with the ELY Centre.
The support can be applied for after the quota refugees in need of urgent relocation have arrived in the municipality.
