refugee shelters

Asylum seeker accommodations

Refugee shelters are temporary housing facilities for people who have fled their homes due to war, persecution, or disaster.

These range from tent camps and converted warehouses to purpose-built reception centers: The city opened refugee shelters to accommodate families crossing the border.

The term emphasizes both the transient nature of the accommodation and the displaced status of its occupants.
