Brad Pitt in visit to hurricane homes

Published: 24/12/2008

BRAD Pitt visits residents of the homes he built in New Orleans, it was reported today.

The Hollywood star pledged £3.4 million of his own money to help rebuild homes after thousands were left homeless by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Pitt has already funded 150 eco-houses in the Lower Ninth Ward as part of the Make It Right project.

Brad said: “It’s not just housing, it’s homes. It’s where people created families, took their kids to school, where those kids took their first steps.

“These people don’t want handouts, but they’ve suffered a great injustice.”
