Option 1

 * Article Evaluation
 * adding to the subsection Current efforts to address the issue by region: article title"Homeless Street Outreach"


 * Sources

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Homeless advocacy
 * Article Evaluation
 * A little more closely related to my PE, would be interesting to explore what methods of advocacy are provided by the government/policy and what kinds of organizations are stepping up to represent these under-represented groups


 * Sources
 * The National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty
 * Homeless Bill of Rights
 * Category:Homeless shelters in the United States
 * Rapid Re-Housing
 * Supportive housing

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Homelessness and co-occuring disorders
 * Article Evaluation
 * Interesting topic especially in the sense that it debunks a lot of myths about homelessness and mental health but is also eye-opening to learn about how declining health and the condition of homelessness are self-perpetuating


 * Sources
 * Homeless dumping
 * Homelessness and mental health

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Homelessness and the Built Environment


 * Article Evaluation
 * This is the article that would be the most interesting for me to write- it wouldn't be a part of the wikiproject for homelessness but seeing that homelessness is a product of a lack of affordable housing, it is extremely interesting to me to see how our current built environment accommodates for unhoused individuals and how alternative forms of temporary or ad-hoc housing is created in urban areas. There seem to be a great deal of sources both on wikipedia and google scholar, but it seems as if these things have yet to be compiled into one comprehensive article.


 * Sources
