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-secured loan, it means it is underwritten by them. No part of the loan is provided by the FHA; what the FHA does is ensure that the mortgage is paid for in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. Low-income and moderate-income borrowers benefit from an FHA-insured loan; the point of the Federal Housing Administration is to assist credit-worthy potential buyers to meet expectations and necessities for lending agencies that they otherwise would not.

The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. The loan programs that the Federal Housing Administration offers are extremely useful to buyers with less starting income.
