Brad Pitt Foundation to Build Solar Homes for Native Americans



The new homes will have three or four bedrooms, two or three bathrooms and will be solar powered. Housing will be available for tribal members whose income levels fall below 60 percent of the Area Median Income.

“As a tribal designer working in Indian country, I feel we have an obligation to design and build housing that is tied to the culture, community and place of Fort Peck,” says Joseph Kunkel, Enterprise Rose Architectural Fellow From The Sustainable Native Communities Collaborative.
