Hurricane Katrina left thousands homeless and a number of celebrities gave to charity and called out for the rest of the country, and the world, to help the victims of the natural disaster. Brad Pitt went a little further with the Make It Right Foundation, which has been trying to build homes for the people involved.
The Make It Right Foundation is working closely with international architects to develop the Lower 9th Ward in New Orleans. Apart from the expert advice, the foundation is also working closely with the community in its attempts at redeveloping the area. Although the houses being built aren’t free, they offer low interest loans and since the houses aren’t temporary solutions for the victims it works out well.
