Brad Pitt's foundation facing lawsuit over claims of 'falling apart' homes in New Orleans

Brad Pitt’s charitable foundation is facing a lawsuit from residents of a housing project it built in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, following claims that some of the homes are now ‘falling apart’. According to a report by the Associated Press, attorney Roy Austin is representing a number of home-owners in the Lower Ninth Ward, who bought the subsidised houses in 2008. It’s claimed that residents have complained of ‘sagging porches, mildewing wood and leaky roofs’.
