I
likely
know
the
ins
and
outs
of
Alliance
more
than
most
of
the
posters
here
because
I
have
worked
there.
First,
Alliance
is
not
a
mental
health,
substance
abuse,
or
disability
service
provider,
so
any
attack
on
them
about
the
quality
of
those
services
is
misguided.
Alliance
manages
Medicaid
and
other
funding
sources
for
the
aforementioned
services,
and
has
done
so
since
2012/2013.
Second,
the
State
of
North
Carolina
has
cut
funding
for
services
for
the
last
4
years
in
a
row,
which
has
made
it
more
difficult
for
Alliance
to
function
and
for
provider
agencies
to
serve
their
clients
because
there
haven't
been
any
increases
in
their
reimbursement
rates
during
all
of
this
time
-
a
time
of
extremely
low
unemployment
across
all
economic
sectors,
which
has
made
this
system
less
attractive
to
providers
because
the
agencies
can't
be
competitive.
Third,
Alliance
recently
closed
their
Durham
and
Raleigh
offices
and
combined
them
with
their
main
administrative
office
in
Morrisville.
Many
of
their
employees
work
from
home
part
of
the
time
now,
and
the
organization
has
adopted
other
strategies
as
a
means
to
reduce
operating
costs.
There
is
NO
QUESTION
that
the
system
is
broken,
but
it
is
not
the
fault
of
Alliance
and
their
employees,
who
are
among
the
hardest
working
and
smartest
people
that
I
had
ever
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with.
It
is
due
to
the
North
Carolina
General
Assembly's
continued
funding
cuts
to
the
system
as
a
whole,
which
has
reduced
it
to
a
skeleton
of
what
it
once
was.
People
should
be
THANKING
Alliance
employees
for
sticking
around
during
these
challenging
times,
rather
than
pointing
misguided
fingers
at
them.
Ignorant
at
best,
shameful
at
worst.
