What’s local to Franklin Park
There are no programs run by Franklin Park itself. A Franklin Park buyer uses Allegheny 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 Pittsburgh, about 11 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 Allegheny County at $110,400 for a four-person household. 15 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 Pennsylvania →
