Kathie Barkow was inducted into the Justice Category in 2017.
Kathie is a longtime champion of services for the homeless who helped create the Alameda County Homeless and Caring Court. The innovative Court program allows homeless people to clear their records of minor offenses if they participate in substance abuse treatment and/or other programs. The program is a highly effective way to remove barriers to housing, employment and self-sufficiency for homeless individuals and families.
