The maximum length of stay for beneficiaries of international protection in so-called integration centres of RFA is 18 months.[1]
Unaccompanied children/youngsters have better conditions and are placed in the specialized children’s home www.zdcpraha.cz under the Ministry of Education or in the half way houses (flats in Prague and Brno with social and legal assistance) run by OPU.
There were 33 beneficiaries staying in reception centres as of 31 December 2024. The average number of beneficiaries of international protection residing in the RFA integration centres in 2024 was 36 individuals.
The main forms of accommodation provided to beneficiaries of international protection are flats in larger houses.
There are no difficulties in obtaining accommodation after status is granted. There are four centres, providing holders of international protection with a total of 32 accommodation units (allocated according to the size and composition of the resident families) with a maximum capacity of 95 beds. As the number of beneficiaries staying in reception centres suggest, the capacities are not full so basically anyone who holds international protection has a possibility to get state provided accommodation.
