You are going to investigate a really acute problem, because the number of homeless people increases every year. The economic crisis has turned it into even a more serious problem.
 
To get inspired and write a strong research paper on homelessness, just go outside and look how many homeless people you can see. You will immediately have dozen of questions that you can later include into your research paper on homelessness. Do you not want to know:
