Refugees are assigned to municipalities in accordance with a distribution key in order to create an even dispersal throughout the country. Due to the ready availability of inexpensive housing, the majority of refugees are placed in smaller municipalities in the rural part of the country. Though placement is assigned, refugees are free to move between municipalities. Each initial municipality is responsible for the financial support of individual refugees.[1] [1] “Denmark” European Resettlement Network. ICMC Europe, 2013. Web. 26 Feb. 2017.
