Introduction
I define myself as a housing researcher who is interested in housing instability, urban poverty, and affordable housing policies. I am particularly interested in three subjects, understanding mechanisms of housing instability in private rental housing markets, estimating the impact of urban and housing policies on residential moves among low-income households, and evaluating the role of stable housing as a poverty alleviation strategy.
Specialties: Affordable housing policies, housing instability, urban poverty, city and regional planning, quantitative data analysis, GIS and spatial analysis

Disaster management agencies have increasingly adopted online tools (e.g., social media platforms) for risk messaging, but the disparities in acquiring and comprehending risk information disseminated in online channels may influence the adoption of risk mitigation actions and exacerbate the rooted vulnerability of marginalized populations. However,...
Given the growing threat of housing instability in the United States, this study explores the variability in housing instability experiences in terms of severity and persistence by tracking low-income households in the Panel Study of Income Dynamics data from 2003 to 2017. First, this study examines the associations between one housing instability...
Due to a severe shortage of affordable housing in the United States, insufficient funding for housing programs, and the growing importance of preserving market-affordable rental units, it becomes increasingly imperative for housing scholars and policymakers to capture neighborhood-level changes in unsubsidized privately-owned affordable rental hous...

Housing instability has been known to be a key determinant of mental health. However, previous studies have focused heavily on examining the relationship between housing instability and mental health cross-sectionally with single-point-in-time measures and the cumulative nature of housing instability that could occur repeatedly over time has been l...

However, previous studies have focused heavily on examining the relationship between housing instability and mental health cross-sectionally with single-point-in-time measures and the cumulative nature of housing instability that could occur repeatedly has been largely overlooke...
This presentation was prepared to introduce a unique way to estimate the number of naturally occurring affordable housing units at a neighborhood level. This presentation is based on the example of Pinellas County in Florida.
By analyzing the Panel Study of Income Dynamics data combined with the Assisted Housing Database, this study explores the associations between the five statuses related to receiving or leaving from a certain type of housing assistance and the subsequent housing instability experience. These statuses include households that (1) reside in a public or...
Scholars have increasingly highlighted housing instability, often represented by negative forms of residential mobility, as a growing problem in the United States. However, little empirical evidence exists about the role of regional conditions in making low-income renter households more vulnerable to housing instability. This paper examines the reg...
Because of a severe shortage of affordable housing in the United States, an increasing number of low-income households suffer from housing instability. However, little evidence exists as to why they experienced housing instability, although they were stably housed at other times. By applying hybrid models to the Panel Study of Income Dynamics data,...
This article conceptualizes the relationship between housing instability, residential mobility, and neighborhood quality. We summarize the existing literature about residential mobility and housing instability and examine their potential interactions along three dimensions: (a) the reasons for a move, including a variety of push and pull factors; (...

With a severe shortage of affordable housing in the United States, it becomes increasingly imperative for housing scholars and policymakers to understand the dynamics of unsubsidized privately-owned affordable rental housing, also widely called naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH). We develop a unique way to estimate the number of NOAH units at a census tract level and examine the neighborhood-level changes in NOAH units based on the four largest core-based statistical areas (CBSAs) in Florida from 2000 to 2016.
Despite the increasing role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in disaster mitigation work, little is known about the influence of the digital divide (DD) on disaster risk reduction. Focusing on the flood-prone neighborhoods in Florida, this project intends to quantify DD considering its different levels and to disentangle the relationship between DD and flood vulnerability among subsidized housing residents by using multiple quantitative methods. The research will be among the first to examine the digital inequality in the flood-prone neighborhoods and will add another critical layer to their vulnerability: “digital” vulnerability.
Due to the shortage of affordable housing in the United States, an increasing number of renters are struggling for to maintaining housing stability. However, few explanations exist for why some renters keep housing in response to increasing-housing-cost burdens whereas others involuntarily move. Applying hybrid models to a nationwide panel dataset, the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), this study empirically evaluates the roles of economic and sociodemographic factors in triggering or avoiding involuntary residential mobility.
