Dr. Rong Bai has been awarded a grant from the William T. Grant Foundation titled, "Does Permanent Supportive Housing Address Racial Disparity? Assessing the Long-term Impacts on Homeless Families with Children in Foster Care?"
Through this grant, Dr. Bai will examine the long-term impacts of Permanent Supportive Housing as it relates to child welfare involvement, educational outcomes, and housing stability, among other key outcomes. Dr. Bai will also examine if race moderates these relationships.
