About Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk
Support Services for Veteran Families
EOC envisions an agency with the capacity to adapt and accommodate the changing need of the communities we serve.
The Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk, Inc (EOC) is a not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) minority community based organization (CBO) incorporated in the State of New York on May 5, 1967. The EOC of Suffolk, Inc is Suffolk County’s designated community action agency, recipient of the Federal Community Service Block Grant, which supports activities designed to assist low-income families and individuals receiving assistance under part A of Title IV of the Social Security Act.
Our mission is to promote a goal of self-sufficiency by broadening the minds of children, revitalizing communities, and assisting families and children in need through the provision of services and to coordinate available federal, state, local and private resources.
