Do state income support policies and practices explain differences in program receipt between Latinx and non-Latinx families and the relative well-being of Latinx children?

This grant will support research and outreach to address questions about the feasibility of paying reparations to Black American descendants of persons who were enslaved in what is now the United States.

How does state implementation of public assistance programs matter for Latino families’ use of those benefits?

Morris and her colleagues will leverage data from an existing randomized control trial of a conditional cash transfer program—Opportunity New York City-Family Rewards Program (ONYC)—to examine if and how income instability affects family processes and youth school outcomes.
