You&#x27;re very certain for someone who certainly have not checked first.<p>In 2010, Norway spent on average $11,800 per year per refugee or asylum seeker in government operated centres. This amount covered lodging, health checks, nursery, and co-pay on dental and medical services. I don&#x27;t know how much of that is the lodging, but it&#x27;s nowhere near the whole amount.<p>The prices stated in the article adds up to $11,315 to $27,375 for just the lodging.<p>That doesn&#x27;t necessarily mean that it is bad as a way to deal with rapid increases in the required capacity.
