It's move-in day for six Lower Ninth Ward families who are taking possession of their new sustainable homes - the first of 150 affordable houses. Some nice media coverage of this important event, including "Families move into homes that Pitt built" by the Associated Press:
"It was a bittersweet moment for Brad Pitt, walking through the Lower 9th Ward neighborhood where families were preparing to spend their first holidays since Hurricane Katrina.

Still, Pitt is restless.
"I'm really happy for the families that are going to be here, but I can't help but think about the families that aren't," Pitt said Monday. "It's a push-pull for me. The excitement is that it's being proven, that it's working. The frustration is that we have a long way to go."
