Senate Bill 308 proposes a grant of $1,000,000 from the Department of Administration to Lutheran Social Services of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan, Inc. The funding is intended to assist in the purchase and renovation of the Libertas Treatment Center located in Chippewa Falls, which will serve as a 50-bed treatment facility specifically for men dealing with substance use disorders. The bill emphasizes the importance of this grant in addressing the public need for recovery services for this demographic in Wisconsin.

The legislation includes a declaration from the legislature affirming that the grant serves a public purpose by meeting the recovery service needs of men suffering from substance use disorders in the state. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance mental health and substance abuse prevention services within the community.
