Brad Pitt and his Make It Right Foundation, who were sued in 2018 over shoddy homes they built in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, settled their arguments for $20.5 million. <\/p>\n
The preliminary settlement, which still needs to be approved by a judge, will be funded by Global Green, an environmental nonprofit, has agreed to cover the settlement which will rectify the defects on the homes. <\/p>\n
According to The Times-Picayune\/The New Orleans Advocate, the program’s 107 homeowners will be eligible to receive $25,000 each as reimbursement for previous repairs.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am incredibly grateful for Global Green’s willingness to step up and provide this important support for the Lower Ninth families,\u201d said Pitt in a statement Thursday.<\/p>\n
