Community is the vision Paris has for Chapel Hill--a place where essential workers, moms, young people, entrepreneurs, and families can work, live, and play in our community. On Council, Paris was involved in the creation of the $20 million Affordable Housing Loan Fund in partnership with UNC Health and Self-Help Credit Union, which will preserve or create 600 affordable units over the next 20 years. On Council, Paris has been integral to adding 1,000 new affordable housing units to the Town’s development pipeline. In her second term, Paris will continue to reduce barriers to development, expand homeownership, and strengthen key public-private relationships. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d3d40199565e4aa6f1ce59/1624626124707-1Z0PFUMEC913CZ8HZSX1/IMG_4002.JPG Home - Environment. To Paris, environmental justice is about planning with an equity lens. Chapel Hill has diverse natural habitats, features, and land that can hold economic sustainability in our town. During her four years on Council, Paris has been heavily involved in ensuring that the Land Use Management Ordinance rewrite supports missing middle housing and transit-oriented development. Doing so has ensured that the Town’s zoning regulations align with the her climate and equity goals. The zoning reforms that Paris has championed during her first term on Council will curb sprawl, reduce car dependency, and foster inclusive, walkable neighborhoods. On council, she has doubled public EV charging stations, launched an e-bike lending program, and expanded the Town’s early-warning flood sensor network to protect vulnerable neighborhoods. https://www.paris-millerfoushee.com/priorities daily 0.75 2025-06-13 https://www.paris-millerfoushee.com/materials-for-learning daily 0.75 2021-06-24 https://www.paris-millerfoushee.com/meet-paris daily 0.75 2025-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60d3d40199565e4aa6f1ce59/1624506171026-XP2SMYMIRNRDE3LKSWT2/site.jpg Meet Paris - Paris grew up in Durham with a single mom, and was raised by a village of aunties and uncles. She moved to Chapel Hill to start a family with her husband who is a Chapel Hill native of 8 generations . She’s fully steeped in community and no issue--not housing affordability, public safety, economic development, or environmentalism-- is theoretical to her. She’s lived it. She’s first-hand experienced what representation and community does to uplift those in our society who are often left in the margins. Paris has served one term on the Chapel Hill Town Council, and is running for re-election. On Council, Paris has been instrumental in increasing affordable housing, diversifying transit services, and increasing Chapel Hill’s safety and security services. She has made so much progress during her first four years, and she is excited at the prospect of serving four more years to continue making Chapel Hill a rich place to live for all.
