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 financial transaction is an FHA-secured loan, it means it is underwritten by them. None of the money in the loan is provided by the FHA; what the FHA does is ensure that the loan is paid for in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. Low-income and moderate-income consumers benefit from an FHA-insured financial transaction; the point of the Federal Housing Administration is to help credit-worthy potential buyers to meet expectations and requirements for lending agencies that they otherwise would not.

Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. The loan programs that the FHA offers are acutely helpful to consumers with less starting income.
