Make It Right, Brad Pitt's foundation that builds homes for people in need, has just revealed five new designs for the Fort Peck (Mont.) Indian Reservation.

The organization plans to build 20 three- and four-bedroom homes on the reservation in the short-term. In the long term, a sustainable master plan for the entire 3,300-square-mile reservation is in the works, Arch Daily reports.

The designs come from GRAFT, Sustainable Native Communities Collaborative, Architecture for Humanity, Method Homes, and Living Homes, and were created with direction from the Fort Peck community. All homes are to be built to the standard of LEED Platinum certification. 

More than 600 out of the 6,000 people living on the Fort Peck Reservation are on a waiting list for housing. Make It Right's homes will be available to those at or below 60% of the area's median income.
