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 loan is an FHA-insured loan, it means it is backed by them. The lending company takes care of all the money in the loan; the FHA simply insures the transaction through mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay off his or her loan. Low-income and moderate-income homebuyers benefit from an FHA-secured loan; the purpose of the Federal Housing Administration is to help credit-worthy consumers to meet expectations and necessities for lending organizations that they otherwise would not.

The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. Those with lesser income or less starting capital to use as a down-payment on a mortgage are assisted the most from FHA loan programs.
