Brad Pitt-Backed Green Housing Complex Is A Disaster; Residents Suing
make it right green homeThe Make it Right Foundation, the Brad Pitt-backed non-profit that built more than 100 homes for New Orleans residents displaced in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, currently faces legal action due to structural defects, insect infestations, and other construction issues.
At least six properties sit abandoned, and two were demolished just seven years after being built due to mold issues, according to Insider.
Residents of Louisiana’s 9th Ward filed a class-action lawsuit against Make It Right, referred to in the suit simply as “The Foundation,” in 2018 for allegedly selling them “defectively and improperly constructed homes.”
Make It Right was launched in 2007 with the goal of “providing high-quality, energy-efficient housing to families in need,” and “assist in the sustainable redevelopment of New Orleans,” according to the suit.
