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-insured loan, it means it is insured by them. The FHA does not provide funds to borrowers, rather, it provides lenders with security with mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay his or her loan obligations. Low-income and moderate-income consumers benefit from an FHA-secured financial transaction; the purpose of the Federal Housing Administration is to cooperate with credit-worthy consumers to meet expectations and necessities for lending agencies that they otherwise would not.

Typically, a buyer has to pay a smaller down payment on an FHA-insured loan, while the rates remain standard market rates. Purchasers with lower income or less starting money to put down on a loan are helped the most from Federal Housing Administration loan programs.
