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 loan is an FHA-insured loan, it means it is underwritten by them. None of the funds are provided by the FHA; what the FHA does is make sure that the loan is taken care of in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. Low-income and moderate-income borrowers benefit from an FHA-insured financial transaction; the point of the Federal Housing Administration is to help credit-worthy consumers to meet expectations and qualifications for lending agencies that they otherwise would not.

Typically, a buyer has to pay less of a down payment on an FHA-insured loan, while the rates remain standard market rates. Those with lower income or less starting funds to put down on a mortgage are assisted the most from Federal Housing Administration loan programs.
