Community Service Council, Inc.

Community Service Council, Inc., doing business as Community Service Council, is a tax-exempt non-profit organization headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, that has been registered to receive federal awards since April 2004. The organization specializes in providing comprehensive supportive services to vulnerable veteran populations and their families, addressing critical social needs including housing stability, mental health, and access to public benefits. Through its federal grant portfolio, Community Service Council delivers evidence-based programs that align with the Department of Veterans Affairs' strategic priorities for veteran well-being and suicide prevention.

Community Service Council has established itself as a significant recipient of Department of Veterans Affairs funding, securing multiple prime federal grant awards totaling over $18 million since 2021. The organization primarily operates under two VA grant programs: the Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) Program (CFDA 64.033) and the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (CFDA 64.055). Under the SSVF Program, Community Service Council provides essential services to very low-income veteran families experiencing homelessness or housing instability, including outreach, case management, assistance obtaining VA and public benefits, and temporary financial assistance for housing-related expenses such as rental payments, utilities, security deposits, and moving costs. The organization has also received substantial funding under the suicide prevention program to deliver community-based mental health interventions and connections to clinical resources for veterans at risk. Recent awards include a $6,968,454 SSVF grant (awarded October 2024), a $1,409,021 SSVF grant (awarded October 2025), and consecutive years of $750,000 suicide prevention grants. Additionally, Community Service Council serves as a sub-awardee under the Oklahoma State Department of Health, supporting the 211 Oklahoma program in developing secure documentation portals and providing trauma-informed training on addiction prevention and marginalized population support. All funding has been provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, with program delivery centered in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area and surrounding regions.
