Europe is pretty deranged about this, yes EU countries are legally required to provide room and board to anyone crying "asylum". Sometimes that's not as great as it sounds, as depending on the country and their attitude towards refugees, they can be put into some old barracks, far from any population center. However, Spain in particular is known to have used hotels to house refugees. What other benefits are stacked on top of that varies country by country, but even basic accommodations will sound like a pretty good deal for someone wanting to roll the dice on amnesty.
