Answer:
Ask yourself which group you would like to work with. Youth, Elderly, Disabled, Mental Illness, etc. True, they may be a combination of varying backgrounds, but you still want to have a main focus then secondary and on down the list of your interests. I recommend that you volunteer for a local non-profit. That way it will give you practical knowledge to combine with your studies. Good luck. More to come.

homeless people may have lots of issues eg housing, mental health, addictions, general health,social worker etc They may get help from lots of organisations ,so you'd need to decide which avenue you want to take. and therefore get appropriate qualifications and experience. So maybe think along the lines of socail worker, health professional ,housing management etc

I have a friend who made a career in this kind of thing and she studied sociology at university. Another option would be law.
