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-insured loan, it means it is secured by them. The lending company provides all the finances; the FHA simply secures the transaction by providing mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan. Low-income and moderate-income homebuyers benefit from an FHA-secured financial transaction; the purpose of the Federal Housing Administration is to cooperate with credit-worthy potential buyers to meet expectations and requirements for lending organizations 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. Purchasers with lesser income or less starting capital to put down on a loan benefit the most from Federal Housing Administration loan programs.
