> Provincial Councilor Martin Antauer confirms the closure of four facilities in Lower Austria as part of updated asylum management protocols.

**Lower Austria** is closing four asylum seeker homes within a single week, including a facility in **Michelhausen** in the Tulln district. Provincial Councilor Martin Antauer, a member of the FPÖ, confirmed the closures following recent provincial evaluations.

The three additional facilities slated for closure are located in Bruck an der Leitha, Schottwien, and St. Pölten. Between 20 and 30 individuals are affected by these shutdowns, though officials state that all residents will receive new accommodations soon.

These closures follow the implementation of a benefit-in-kind card and new reporting requirements for asylum seekers in the region. Antauer continues to oversee these structural changes as Lower Austria tightens its current asylum management protocols.
