Oregon Families Hunt for Youth Respite Beds as Funding Dries Up Statewide

For Oregon families seeking overnight behavioral health respite, a Medicaid benefit does not necessarily translate into available care. Megan Miller, who lives in Eugene, told InvestigateWest that her 8-year-old son has neurodevelopmental needs and that his Medicaid plan technically covers two weeks of “relief” overnights a year. She has never used the benefit because there is nowhere nearby to take him. Instead, she found a Lane County daytime program that offers just a few hours of care one Saturday a month.

Coos Bay port project moves to design phase, gains $205M in fed funds

Design work on a project that aims to turn the Port of Coos Bay into a major West Coast international container terminal will begin soon. The request for proposals seeks an engineering firm to answer whether the rail line between Coos Bay and Eugene can handle the additional traffic and study the project's potential impacts. The project could increase train traffic in Eugene dramatically. On Oct. 19, U.S. Rep. Val Hoyle and Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden announced the federal Department of Transportation had awarded another $204.8 million to the project. That grant, plus prior state and federal funding, brings the project to $460 million of its $2.3 billion goal. Melissa Cribbins, executive director of the project, said fundraising for the port likely will accelerate after these initial investments, because the federal grants can be used to match loans. Project officials anticipate the biggest funding source will be federal railroad loans . Matt Frisen, director of external affairs for the port, said the new award would fund final design, right-of-way acquisition, and some of the railroad upgrades for the project. On Oct. 28, the port closed proposals from prospective designers. At a Eugene town hall last year , port
