Former gang member Curtis Howard spent 30 years cycling between homelessness and incarceration, not because of gang activity, but because the system punishes people for being poor. From parole violations to survival crimes, Curtis exposes how the criminal justice system traps homeless people in an endless cycle—and why it was easier to leave gang life than to escape homelessness.

Now an advocate and nonprofit founder, Curtis is fighting to change the system. In this powerful conversation, he reveals:

🔹 How homelessness, not gangs, led to his arrests

🔹 Why parole conditions keep people stuck on the streets

🔹 The truth about why people struggle to exit homelessness

🔹 Real solutions that actually work

This is a raw, eye-opening conversation you won’t want to miss. Watch or listen now.

Special thanks to the Regional Task Force on Homelessness in San Diego
