The Home‑Study Post Release Services Program (HS/PRS) aims to assess the safety and suitability of a sponsor before an unaccompanied child is released into a sponsor’s care, and to provide case management support to ensure the continued safety and stability of children in sponsor homes while linking them to community resources.
