Since its inauguration in April 2017, it has dealt with more than 15 000 people, some of which have been directed to specialized help, others were accompanied to return home safely or were distributed safety appliances. The services are anonymous and free.
The project is implemented jointly by the City of Bordeaux, Bordeaux Metropolis, the Prefecture and the Regional Health Agency.
