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 financial transaction is an FHA loan, it means it is backed by them. The lending company provides all the finances; the FHA simply secures the transaction through mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay off his or her loan. Low-income and moderate-income consumers benefit from an FHA-secured loan; the point of the Federal Housing Administration is to aid credit-worthy buyers to meet expectations and requirements for lending agencies that they otherwise would not.

Typically, a buyer has to pay less of a down payment on an FHA-insured loan, while the rates remain standard market rates. FHA loan programs are extremely useful to those purchasers with less accessible funding.
