Home - The Economic Opportunity Council Of Suffolk, Inc.

We’d like to shine a spotlight on 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨, a dedicated HUD Certified Housing Counselor here at EOC of Suffolk, whose work is making a meaningful difference in the lives of families across Suffolk County. 🏠

In her role, Therese provides steady, compassionate guidance to homeowners facing some of life’s most difficult moments — including mortgage delinquency and the risk of foreclosure. She helps clients understand their options, build realistic budgets, and move forward with a clear path toward stability and future homeownership.

What stands out most is her commitment to making this support accessible. Her counseling services are 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 to the public, ensuring that anyone in need can turn to a trusted, knowledgeable resource during challenging times.

If you or someone you know is struggling with mortgage payments, help may be available — and acting sooner rather than later can make all the difference. ⏳

Therese can be reached at (631) 647-3762 ext. 204 or tsalerno@eoc-suffolk.com.

Last week, students from the Leaders of the Future Club rolled up their sleeves and got to work—engaging in hands-on community service at Island Harvest’s Healthy Harvest Farm.

Working alongside Farmer Cassidy, students helped prepare for the growing season by sanitizing planting trays, sowing seeds in the greenhouse, and getting fields ready for planting. 🌾

From teamwork to learning new skills, these future leaders are gaining real-world experience while giving back to their community in a meaningful way.
