"This book is about winning and losing, faith and unbelief, life and death, joy and sorrow...
what all of us face in real life."
John Benton
John and Elsie Benton
Founded the Walter Hoving Home in 1967
The current capacity of the Home in Garrison is 60. The rehabilitation cure rate is 82% for those that complete the one year curriculum. More than 800 ladies have successfully completed the program. The Home receives more than 500 referrals from across the country each year. These referrals come from jails, institutions, other Teen Challenge Centers or off the streets.
The original Walter Hoving Home is located on a 23 acre estate in Garrison, New York overlooking the Hudson River and West Point, 50 miles north of New York City. John Benton and his wife, Elsie founded the Home.
We also have a home in Pasadena California. The Walter Hoving Home, located in the historic Mira Monte Hotel, at 127 South El Molino Avenue in the Playhouse District of Pasadena, has the capacity to provide care for up to 60 women.
The Home is named in honor of Walter Hoving, former chairman of Tiffany & Co. He was instrumental in securing the W. Alton Jones Foundation to provide the down payment and yearly grant of $15,000 to cover the life of the mortgage. That mortgage has now been satisfied.
