The FHA is the Federal Housing Administration, which is a federal agency in the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) - if your loan is an FHA-secured loan, it means it is insured by them. The FHA does not provide funds to borrowers, rather, it provides lending agencies with security by offering mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her financial obligations. Low-income and moderate-income consumers benefit from an FHA-backed financial transaction; the point of the Federal Housing Administration is to assist credit-worthy potential buyers to meet expectations and qualifications for lending agencies that they otherwise would not.

The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. The loan programs that the FHA provides are exceedingly helpful to purchasers with less starting income.
