The Fort Peck Tribes of Montana are planning to shell out $2.6 million to install homes that were promised by actor Brad Pitt and his foundation.

The 20 houses are being provided at no cost by Make It Right. It's the infrastructure that the tribe must pay in order to establish the housing development in Poplar.

Some tribal leaders have questioned the high cost. But they agreed to take out a loan to finance the project.

The tribe has already poured the foundations for 13 homes, MTN News reported. People could move in by August, according to the station.

Each house -- designed to be eco-friendly -- costs $283,000, MTN said.
