Good morning, Janesville.

Acts Housing (a nonprofit that helps first-time homebuyers) is expanding its services in Beloit and Rock County with nearly $2 million in new funding, promising more affordable housing options for local residents.

SHINE Technologies received a 263-million loan from the U.S. Energy Department to complete its Janesville manufacturing facility for nuclear medicine.

The company has spent years building the project and will use the funds to finish the production space + support growth.

Janesville native Lisl Detlefsen has released a new children's book titled 'My Mom is Like a Kite' (it teaches that managing a parent's feelings is not a child's job).

The book offers a supportive message for families facing mental health challenges.
