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 financial transaction is an FHA-secured loan, it means it is backed by them. The FHA does not loan capital to borrowers, rather, it provides lenders with security with mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. Applicable to all buyers, FHA loan programs are formed to help credit-worthy low-income and moderate-income families who do not meet requirements for conventional loans.

The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. FHA loan programs are incredibly helpful to those buyers with less accessible funding.
