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 insured by them. The FHA does not loan money to borrowers, rather, it provides lenders with security with mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay his or her financial obligations. Accessible to all purchasers, FHA loan programs are made to aid credit-worthy low-income and moderate-income families who do not have the qualifications for conventional loans.

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