Assembly Bill 304 proposes a grant of $1,000,000 to Lutheran Social Services of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan, Inc. for the purpose of purchasing and renovating the Libertas Treatment Center located in Chippewa Falls. This facility is intended to serve as a 50-bed treatment center specifically for men suffering from substance use disorders who require recovery services. The bill emphasizes the public purpose of this grant, highlighting the need for enhanced recovery services for men in Wisconsin facing these challenges.

The bill mandates that the Department of Administration administer the grant during the 2025-26 fiscal year, ensuring that the funds are allocated to support the establishment of the treatment center. This initiative aims to address the growing need for substance use disorder treatment facilities in the state, thereby contributing to the overall mental health and well-being of the community.
