In response to the floundering recovery effort, Brad Pitt, the Hollywood star, set up his own charity, the Make it Right foundation in 2007, pledging to build 150 new sustainable, flood-proof houses for those displaced from the Lower Ninth Ward. Pitt’s scheme allowed residents, many of whom had little or no insurance, to pay what they could and take out zero-interest loans to cover the rest.
But his well-meaning plan has seemingly fallen foul of its own grandiose ambitions.
Nearly a decade on, the foundation has spent $26.8 million on construction and completed 109 homes.
And despite high-profile celebrity backing and Hollywood fundraising galas, it is struggling to finance the remainder. In a further setback many of the homes already built have begun rotting.
“It’s just not a great solution to affordable housing issues,” says Laura Paul, of charity Lower Nine, which organizes volunteer labour and donations to help former residents in the district rehabilitate their homes.
“If I had that money, I could run my organisation, at its current capacity, for 170 years.”
Pitt’s futuristic pink, blue and green-painted solar-panelled homes – designed by world-renowned architects including Frank Gehry – today stand incongruously in their Deep South surroundings among the boarded-up, weed-choked bungalows.
Vanessa Rogers, 57, says her stairs and floorboards had to be replaced because of decay.
“A lot of it got rotten really fast,” the mother-of-two said. “It got so bad, I fell down the stairs. All the back porch and the deck’s got to be replaced, up and down. There’s a lot of work that needs to be done because of the kind of wood it is. It’s really bad.”
Make It Right say they were supplied defective “glass-infused” wood by the company TimberSIL, claiming it was unable to withstand the humid Louisiana climate. Almost all of the 39 homes built using the wood between 2008 and 2010 are said to already be displaying signs of rot and damp, despite the company’s
40-year guarantee.
Pitt’s foundation is now suing the company for $500,000 – the cost of the replacement wood.
“We’ve been here almost three years now,” says Mrs Rogers’s neighbour, Michael Burns. “I’m now in the process of treating it myself.
“The storm is one thing, but then keeping everything together is a whole other storm in itself.”

This dude was fukking prime time Robin Givens when he was a cot damn waiter. 
The older I get, the more cynical I become. There is definitely a payoff for him doing this whether it be saving taxes, good publicity, etc. I remember reading an article on how he was interested architecture. Maybe this is his way of advertising his future company. 
Good for him though.
