Brad Pitt's charity to build more houses in New Orleans

Make It Right Foundation will finance 150 homes

Brad Pitt stars in Burn After Reading

Brad Pitt's charity has raised enough cash to erect a further six houses in New Orleans.

His Make It Right Foundation has already started to build 84 properties in the US city, which was devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

And he hopes to bring the total to 150 over the next few years.

Last year, the actor used £2.5million of his own money to start the project.

‘I'm hoping we can ... expand all over New Orleans,’ he said during the launch in December.

Meanwhile, Brad, 44, is backing Barack Obama to win the US president election over Republican John McCain in November.

‘The Obama plan can get around this terrible time,' he tells the Daily Star.

'And I’m going to make sure he gets in and fixes the economic crisis.’
