Catholic Social Services of Oakland County

CSSOC is dedicated to providing the highest quality services to enhance the health and well-being of individuals, families and the community at-large. Aligned with the principles and values of Catholic Social Teaching, our staff and volunteers believe each and every person - regardless of race, religion, personal beliefs or ethnicity - is created by God and thereby worthy of dignity and respect. The cornerstone of our agency success is the ability to provide easy access to effective and caring programs for families and individuals in greatest need.
