This is Good News Sunday, a compilation of some of the more upbeat and inspiring stories published recently by the Daily Herald: More than 60 at-risk kids in Elgin will have chances for brighter futures thanks to a $1.5 million grant awarded to the Housing Authority of Elgin. The Housing Authority was one of 68 organizations in the country -- and the only one in the suburbs -- to receive a YouthBuild grant from the U.S. Department of Labor. "This is a unique opportunity, an important opportunity, for Elgin to provide a better tomorrow for these kids," said Housing Authority of Elgin CEO Martell Armstrong.
