Summary

The Secretary must add a separate statement to each required report about programs that protect and speak up for people with mental illness. The statement must say how many people were served, what kinds of work the programs did, what kinds of care places were involved, how the work got started, and what the programs accomplished. It must also describe the programs themselves, what States and residential facilities do, and how they all work together. The statement must list how many programs were set up and whether each is run by a public or nonprofit group, give recommendations and unmet needs, and show a detailed accounting of money spent broken down by federal, State, local, or private sources. When preparing this statement, the Secretary must use the information the programs already send in their annual progress reports.
