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 backed by them. The FHA does not loan money to borrowers, rather, it provides lenders with protection with mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay his or her loan obligations. The FHA and their loan programs are designed to aid low-to-moderate income purchasers help meet credit requirements if they otherwise would not.

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