What’s local to Temple
There are no programs run by Temple itself. A Temple buyer uses Hillsborough 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 Nashua, about 20 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 Hillsborough County at $147,600 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.
