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 7 - Why All the Trash and Why Do We Pick it Up?
Environmental Hospitality is one of Northwest Hospitality’s most successful and appreciated programs.
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH TRASH?
It makes sense to be frustrated, angry, and confused about the litter generated by our un-housed neighbors. Why can’t they clean up after themselves? Don’t they want to keep their area clean so they don’t attract attention and get kicked out? How can they live like that? What about the environment? Why should we help pick it up, they’ll just trash it again.
These and other questions answered in this episode.
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.
