Our Home in Garrison, New York
|
The Walter Hoving Home is a non-profit, faith-based rehabilitation center serving women 18 years and older who have been involved in drug addiction, alcoholism, prostitution and other life-controlling problems.
The center was begun in 1967 by John Benton and his wife, Elsie, in New York and is named for the late Walter Hoving, former chairman of Tiffany & Co., who helped raise money to buy the first facility in Garrison, New York. The Walter Hoving Home expanded to the West Coast in 1985 and opened a facility in Pasadena, California, located in the historic Mira Monte Hotel at 127 South El Molino Avenue. Both homes have the capacity to provide care for 60 women. |
For more than 40 years, John and Elsie Benton have spent many days and nights on the streets of New York and Los Angeles and in the prisons and jails, reaching out to prostitutes and drug addicts. To each desperate young woman, they have extended an invitation to come home to a place of hope and healing. It is an invitation that has led to dramatically changed lives and hope-filled futures for hundreds of women.

Our Home in Pasadena, California |
The one-year residential program is geared to helping young women rebuild their broken lives in an atmosphere of warmth, trust, support, discipline and love. Since 1967, hundreds of young women have found new life and hope at the Walter Hoving Home. The Home is nationally recognized for the high cure rate among the alcoholic and drug-addicted women who complete its spiritually-oriented rehabilitation program. Over 90% of those who come to the Home as alcoholics, drug addicts and prostitutes and complete the program have found a happy, healthy way of living.
Our Home in Las Vegas, Nevada
A number of people have asked us to go to Las Vegas to start another Home. We have responded to the enormous need in Las Vegas and the branch was opened September 2006!
John and Elsie have been on the streets many times and have discovered the need is desperate. We have room for six ladies.
Please pray with us for the Lord's direction. When the Lord opens doors, He also provides the means.
