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 loan, it means it is secured by them. The FHA does not loan funds to borrowers, rather, it provides lenders with security through mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. Low-income and moderate-income borrowers 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 necessities for lenders that they otherwise would not.

Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. FHA loan programs are particularly beneficial to those homebuyers with less accessible starting capital.
