It is an assignment designed to develop a research plan. Before you start, review the chapter on research and methods paying close attention to the part on the scientific method. I strongly suggest that you write your assignment in bullet points addressing each component separately. In other words, define homelessness and state why it is a social problem. Use a theoretical perspective to explain why it is a problem (review the sections on perspectives). Develop a hypothesis, remembering that hypotheses involve variables and cause/effect relationships. Be specific in the research design you would use, including proper terminology. The intent is to assess your ability to reason about social issues, not react to them.
