By Rebecca Hansen-White, Chris Lehman Verified| Jefferson Public Radio Verified White Bird’s CAHOOTS program, which provides services to people in crisis, will no longer serve the city of Eugene. Employees had been warning of impending cuts for months, and White Bird had already planned to scale back to two shifts a week: Fridays and Saturdays.
