I want to look at poverty amount white youth and adult males in Canada. How being located in a rural or urban community affects the poverty, homelessness, food insecurity of this population.
Excellent topic - I would focus on food security which is growing fast in funding support and national interest. While homelessness is important, career-wise it is like beating a dying horse.
You may want to look at the Calgary Poverty Reduction Initiative as a model -- http://vibrantcanada.ca/content/calgarys-poverty-reduction-strategy . I believe there are other cities undertaking similar initiatives.
