What’s local to Shepherdstown
There are no programs run by Shepherdstown or by Jefferson County. A Shepherdstown buyer uses West Virginia statewide and federal programs, which are the ones listed above.
The closest city that runs its own program is Martinsburg, about 9 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 Jefferson County at $128,400 for a four-person household. 8 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 West Virginia →
