Thank you for your questions.
In terms of what existing programs are available, just recently and throughout the pandemic the communities have taken it upon themselves to build land-based treatment detox centres and wellness centres. Your advice when you were calling up nurses' stations a few years ago, that's exactly what's happening with the building of camps and working away at wellness piece by piece, when they can.
We're also hosting pretty innovative detox programs ourselves that are led by the community or chief and council. We're bringing in health care practitioners. I know that some innovative programs have been renting hotels for a couple of months to do a grand detox and do a lot of community development work in the meantime. By that, I mean they're finding housing for people, making sure there's food and making sure there are opportunities for a family to join them or for care. We're trying to make sure there's an aftercare plan once we go through this piece.
The reality is that many people still go through the public detox system, which means we do our best. We're building the technology to know the wait times for beds. When something opens up, doctors can start to call in and ask for that. That's something an emergency doctor often calls us about. As soon as we started the program, we heard from doctors right away in the hospitals. We started to pick up some of the aftercare so that, when they were released, there at least was a contact.
In the last two months, we've had a proof of concept with delivering in-person services under the NAN Hope piece. We have a lot of virtual care navigation, but we actually have people in the urban centres now who can go and pick people up after an emergency, get them to a hostel or housing component, and make sure they have food. We've had great feedback in the last two months. We applied for a year's funding and we received two months—
