What’s local to Mount Pleasant
There are no programs run by Mount Pleasant itself. A Mount Pleasant buyer uses Racine 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 Racine, 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 Racine County at $104,300 for a four-person household. 11 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 Wisconsin →
