In response to the escalating financial crisis faced by Gaza evacuees in Canada, NZF initiated discussions with DOM and CFP. CFP proposed allocating a portion of their property in Milton for a housing project, leading to the conception of the Village of Hope—a sustainable community designed to address both immediate and long-term housing needs.
