Brad Pitt's Foundation Strikes $20.5 Million Settlement With Owners of Faulty Post-Hurricane Katrina Homes
Brad Pitt's Make It Right Foundation has struck a $20.5 million settlement with owners of post-Hurricane Katrina homes the actor's foundation initially built and sold to affected families below cost but ultimately drew attention for the homes' poor conditions after the families moved in.The settlement calls for Global Green, an environmental non-profit organization that was not part of the 2018 class action lawsuit, to foot the bill on behalf of Pitt's foundation. The preliminary settlement agreement — which still requires the court to sign off on — will aim to resolve outstanding issues in the litigation over homes Make It Right developed in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans.
