What’s local to Vadnais Heights
There are no programs run by Vadnais Heights itself. A Vadnais Heights buyer uses Ramsey 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 Shoreview, about 4 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 Ramsey County at $131,500 for a four-person household. 16 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 Minnesota →
