It must also describe the programs themselves, what States and facilities do to protect rights, how they work together, how many programs exist and whether each is run by a public or nonprofit group, and recommend improvements and unmet needs. For each program, the statement must show a detailed accounting of spending, split by federal, State, local, or private funds.
