Complex Problems, Simple Solutions: Discussions on Homelessness
Welcome to the Complex Problems, Simple Solutions: Discussions on Homelessness podcast. We explore resources, experiences, and the goals of advocates and outreach volunteers who offer services and support to our unhoused neighbors throughout Washington State. Our hope is to provide a more compassionate understanding of their experiences, and the obstacles they face as they pursue their goals.
Your host of Complex Problems, Simple Solutions, Anton Preisinger, formed the nonprofit organization, Northwest Hospitality in 2016 to pursue his outreach goals and better support vulnerable neighbors where he lived and worked. With a background in science and diverse volunteer experiences, Anton continues to develop NWH organically. We are always doing our best to respond to people’s unique requests and find ways to enhance the programs of other groups and organizations in the field by filling in the gaps and maximizing teamwork. When communities are encouraged, complex problems can be conquered by simple solutions.

Episode 8 - Let's Do Something Together: Discussion Prompt
In this episode we hope to inspire conversation and participation. Spark up a conversation with a friend or family member about homelessness in the area around where you live. Talk about anything: what's being done about it, how many people are affected, what's not being done about it, general attitudes toward people, how all these things effect cultural bias and local policy making, and, most importantly, how it makes you feel and what you might be able to do about it (or are doing about it) systemically or on a one-on-one basis. After your discussion, email anton@nwhospitality.org with a summary of what you discussed OR record your thoughts in a voice memo to send our way for use on the podcast.
The main goal of Northwest Hospitality is to alleviate suffering and show compassion to all our homeless neighbors through simple, effective programs. We aim to encourage participation in other local services that can help bring people out of poverty. As we accomplish this goal, we serve our supporters by being a transparent, effective charity that embodies integrity and efficiency in both our programs and operation.
