The City of Eugene is looking to fund a new peer navigation service to help fill the gaps created by the loss of CAHOOTS.

The city published a report this week on its emergency response trends since April. That’s when the mobile crisis intervention program CAHOOTS abruptly shuttered services in town.

The report found that another program, Mobile Crisis Services of Lane County, saw significantly more use in that time. It responds to some of the same types of mental health calls as CAHOOTS used to, and scaled up its hours of operation earlier this year.

A recent report from the city notes an increase in crisis service response by fire and police, and peer navigation is intended to help lower such calls.
