Weingart Foundation CEO Miguel Santana

I Was the Skunk at the Picnic

Miguel Santana was the city administrative officer for the City of Los Angeles, where he designed the city’s first comprehensive homeless strategy. Santana was appointed President & CEO of the Weingart Foundation in 2021 and serves as chair of the Committee for Greater L.A. Before sitting on a panel for the Zócalo/KCRW event “Do We Even Need a City Council?,” Santana sat down in our green room to talk about the homelessness crisis, East Coast falls, and the L.A. he knows.
