ESTATE agent Paul Banning offered to open up his unlet properties in Gateshead to ex-soldiers yesterday.
The Belle Vue Estates Property Management owner said he felt “frustrated” after seeing a photograph of a homeless veteran sitting on a street in Wales with a blanket.
He wrote on Facebook offering to let homeless ex-soldiers live in his 27 empty homes without fees and help get their housing benefits sorted out.
His offer has been shared over 50,000 times and he said he’d been inundated with offers of furniture and handymen.
He wrote: “Ex-servicemen, through no fault of their own, are coming out of the military with illnesses, whatever they may be, and are finding it hard to get back into Civvy Street.
“I’m going to do my best to try to help them.”
