What’s local to Mayfield Heights
There are no programs run by Mayfield Heights itself. A Mayfield Heights buyer uses Cuyahoga 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 Cleveland Heights, about 5 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 Cuyahoga County at $105,000 for a four-person household. 17 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 Ohio →
