Item 1.             Security and Issuer.


            This statement relates to the common stock, par value $0.001per share (the "Common Stock") of Home Solutions of America, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). The address of the Issuer's principal executive office is 1340 Poydras Street, Suite 1800, New Orleans, LA 70112.

Item 2.             Identity and Background.

            (a) (b) (c) The Filing Persons are a group (the "Group") consisting of the following three entities or individuals:

  (1) MT Trading LLC, a Connecticut Limited Liability Company with offices at 530 Silas Deane Highway, Suite 130, Wethersfield, Connecticut 06109. It is principally engaged in the business of investing. The Members of MT Trading LLC are:
     
    Sondra J. Beit, whose business address is 530 Silas Deane Highway, Suite 130, Wethersfield, CT 06109. Mrs. Beit is not currently employed.
     
    Mark S. Paley, whose business address is Harvest Investments, 530 Silas Deane Highway, Suite 130, Wethersfield, CT 06109. Mr. Paley is a professional investor and principal of Harvest Investments LLC.
     
  (2) Sondra J. Beit (see above).
     
  (3) RH Trading LLC, a Connecticut Limited Liability Company with offices at 530 Silas Deane Highway, Suite 130, Wethersfield, Connecticut 06109. It is principally engaged in the business of investing. The Members of RH Trading LLC are Sondra J. Beit and Mark S. Paley (see above).

            (d) (e) During the last five years, no Filing Person or any Member of any Filing Person has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such Filing Person or Member of the Filing Person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3.             Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

            Securities of the Issuer were purchased (i) with personal funds, (ii) with personal funds contributed by the Members of the Filing Persons for the purpose of making investments and (iii) using a margin account with the Filing Persons' broker, Merrill Lynch, Inc. 213 Court Street, Suite 650, Middletown, Connecticut 06547.

Item 4.             Purpose of Transaction.

            The transactions have been effected primarily for investment purposes.

            The Filing Persons view the Issuer as a deep value investment and strongly believe in the Issuer's long-term prospects despite its various problems. However, it is noted that the Issuer has not filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2007, its Form 10-K for fiscal year 2007, which would include audited financial statements for 2007, and its Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2008, all of which are required to have been filed under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), depriving shareholders of relevant financial and other information about the Issuer for over six months. Also, no proxy statement has been filed for an annual meeting to be held in 2008 to elect directors.

            The Filing Persons believe that it is essential that an annual meeting be held as soon as possible so that directors of the Issuer may be elected and so that the Board and management of the Issuer may explain to and discuss with shareholders significant recent developments at the Issuer, including, but not limited to: the above-noted failures to provide shareholders information as required by the rules of the SEC; the appointment of a new Chairman of the Board; the appointment of an Interim Chief Financial Officer; the entry of Indemnity Agreements with independent directors and certain executive officers; an audit committee investigation into related party transactions and other matters; the delisting of the Issuer's Common stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market; and certain terminations of and resignations by officers and directors. The Filing Persons are ready to assist the Issuer's Board in any way they can in its exploration of all available strategic alternatives and in providing timely and complete disclosure and updates to shareholders, including investor conference calls.

            However, if the Filing Persons believe the Board does not take actions they believe are required to be taken in the best interest of stockholders, they will take whatever action they deem necessary in order to protect their rights as stockholders, including seeking two Board seats at the next annual meeting of stockholders.

            In addition, the Filing Persons may take actions which relate to or may result in any of the following:

            (a) The acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

            (b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer;

            (c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of the Issuer's assets;

            (d) A change in the Issuer's present Board of Directors or management, including to change the number of directors or to fill any vacancies on the Board;

            (e) A material change in the Issuer's present capitalization or dividend policy;

            (f) Any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; or

            (g) Changes in the Issuer's charter or bylaws or any other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person.

Item 5.             Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

            (a) As of the date hereof, the Group owns shares of the Common Stock, shares of Series C-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") presently convertible into shares of Common Stock and Warrants for Common Stock (the "Warrants") exercisable for Common Stock representing 11.6% of the outstanding Common Stock, assuming the conversion of all of the Preferred Stock and the exercise of all Warrants owned by the Group which are exercisable commencing on October 2, 2008. The Common Stock, including shares of Common Stock acquired upon conversion of all of the Preferred Stock and exercise of all Warrants exercisable commencing on October 2, 2008, is held by members of the Group as follows:

  RH Trading LLC    385,000
                Group Total 6,239,831

Beit, respectively, are exercisable commencing on October 2, 2008 at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and 1,000,000 and 500,000, respectively, are exercisable commencing on July 3, 2009 at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

            (d) Not applicable.

            (e) Not applicable.

            The Members of MT Trading LLC and RH Trading LLC are Mark S. Paley and Sondra J. Beit. Roger Beit is the husband of Sondra Beit. Although no formal agreement exists, such persons can be expected to act in concert with respect to their investments.
