What’s local to Worthington
There are no programs run by Worthington itself. A Worthington buyer uses Jefferson County’s programs, plus the statewide and federal ones above — all of which are open to them.
The closest city that runs its own program is Louisville, about 12 miles away. City programs usually require the home to be inside that city’s limits — worth checking if you’re still choosing where to buy.
HUD puts the 2026 area median income for Jefferson County at $99,000 for a four-person household. 14 of the programs listed here set an income limit as a percentage of that figure, which is why the same program admits a different income in a different county. Published limits for Kentucky →
