Foyer de Nyon (also known as EVAM Nyon/Levratte) is a cantonal collective accommodation centre for migrants located in the La Levratte neighborhood of Nyon, in the Swiss Canton of Vaud.

Context & Operations: Managed by the Établissement vaudois d'accueil des migrants (EVAM), the public institution responsible for asylum reception in the canton, the facility was inaugurated in March 2023. It was established as a temporary reception structure to address high demand for asylum housing, operating with a baseline capacity of 90 places. The centre provides housing and basic assistance to asylum seekers assigned to the region.

Community Impact: The facility was opened in direct coordination between EVAM and the City of Nyon. Like other EVAM foyers, it functions as an open facility, and its integration into the residential fabric involved interactions with the local neighborhood group (Association des habitants de La Levratte et Pré-Fleuri) to foster community relations and manage the local footprint.
