Meet Raven Santana, Our EHD Host & MC

Some stories deserve to be heard. Some conversations have the power to bring people together, create understanding and inspire action.

As an award-winning journalist and anchor for News 12 New Jersey and News 12 New York, Raven Santana has built her career around giving a voice to the people and stories that shape our communities. Her commitment to amplifying diverse perspectives make her a meaningful part of this year's Ending Homelessness Dinner. Raven has earned honors from COLOR Magazine and the New Jersey Press Association for her impactful journalism. She made history as the first woman of color to host NJ Business Beat, covers critical mental health issues, including youth mental health with NJ Spotlight News, and has hosted civic engagement programming focused on voter education.

This November, Raven will bring that passion for storytelling to the stage as the host of our dinner and moderator of a special panel featuring our 2026 honorees.

We are incredibly grateful and welcome Raven Santana to our 10th Annual Ending Homelessness Dinner to step in as our host and MC for an evening full of impact and dedication toward building safe, stable housing.
