The FHA is the Federal Housing Administration, which is a federal organization in the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) - if your loan is an FHA loan, it means it is secured by them. The FHA does not provide funds to borrowers, rather, it provides lending agencies with protection with mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay his or her loan obligations. Applicable to all buyers, FHA loan programs are designed to assist credit-worthy low-income and moderate-income families who do not have the qualifications for conventional loans.

Typically, a buyer has to pay less of a down payment on an FHA-insured loan, while the rates remain standard market rates. The loan programs that the FHA provides are excessively useful to buyers with less starting income.
