The annual Bexar County homelessness point-in-time count, combined with a four-year progress report, showed both challenges and improvements.

Lisette Medina prepares a popcorn snack for her daughter Estephanie Ochoa, 5, Monday at their home. A packet of pork chops that her sister bought for her family thaws on the counter top, which Medina will prepare for dinner later. Lissette Medina uses $1,000 in food stamps and the social security checks she gets for two of her disabled daughters to feed and take care of her family of six every month. Medina says that some months the food stamps run out and the fridge is empty for a few days before she can go shopping again.
