Brad Pitt's Charity Slammed for Rotting Homes Built for Hurricane Katrina Victims in New Orleans

Brad Pitt's "Make It Right" charity is under fire after it was discovered that homes built for Hurricane Katrina victims are rotting in New Orleans.

According to reports, 30 homes built by the charity in the Ninth Ward have wood that is rotting from the inside out.

"The wood turned gray and it was also black," Nola Verrett, owner of a "Make It Right" home, told RadarOnline.com. "Also some parts it was buckling and it had mushrooms growing out of it. Different neighborhoods saw it, too."

However, "Make It Right" is pushing the blame onto the company used to build the houses, TimberSIL, for using a poor quality of wood. It will cost $150,000 to replace the wood despite the company's guarantee that the "unique non-burning glass-and-wood blend" it sold would last for 40 years. Pitt's charity is considering taking legal action against the company.

"It [the lumber] was unable to withstand moisture, which is obviously a big problem in New Orleans," Make It Right rep Taylor Royle told the New Orleans Advocate.

In the meantime, Verrett also said that that the wood in her home has already been replaced with yellow pine.

"It didn't take no time at all," Verrett, who has been living in the home for just over four years added. "It's just like they said. If something's wrong, they make it right. We are very happy with our Make It Right home."

However, another homeowner named Gloria Guy told WDSU News New Orleans that, "They replaced a lot of houses but they ain't replaced mine. They're supposed to come pretty soon and do it."
