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-secured loan, it means it is backed by them. The FHA does not loan money to borrowers, rather, it provides lenders with protection with mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. Available to all consumers, FHA loan programs are built to aid credit-worthy low-income and moderate-income families who do not have the qualifications for conventional loans.

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