The award funds therapeutic community residential treatment programs at the Dunn County Jail and Wood County Jail, both located in rural and underserved areas of Wisconsin.

Each program develops individualized release plans to support sustained community reintegration.

Administrative oversight is based in Madison, Wisconsin.
