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-insured loan, it means it is insured by them. No part of the loan is provided by the FHA; what the FHA does is make sure that the loan is secure in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. Low-income and moderate-income homebuyers benefit from an FHA-insured loan; the purpose of the Federal Housing Administration is to assist credit-worthy potential buyers to meet expectations and necessities for lending organizations that they otherwise would not.

Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. Consumers with lower income or less starting capital to use as a down-payment on a mortgage benefit the most from FHA loan programs.
