The Ethos Equality Fund will be the Boston area's first fund solely dedicated to supporting the development, implementation, and expansion of programs, services, and activities that enhance the quality of life for LGBT elders and their support circles.

Ethos’ long-standing mission is to prevent the isolation and loss of autonomy that accompanies a move into a nursing home. With this in mind, Ethos has added a new program called Money Follows the Person, a federal grant that helps nursing home residents return to the community.
 
An Ethos nursing team leads the effort. Once a nursing home resident who wants to return to the community is identified, the team works with her/him find suitable housing and appropriate long-term support services. Most elect to rent an apartment, or more commonly, move in with a family member.
