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 underwritten by them. The FHA does not loan funds to borrowers, rather, it provides lenders with safety through mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. Accessible to all consumers, FHA loan programs are formed to assist credit-worthy low-income and moderate-income families who do not meet requirements for conventional loans.

Typically, a buyer has to pay less of a down payment on an FHA-insured loan, while the rates remain standard market rates. The loan programs that the Federal Housing Administration provides are incredibly useful to purchasers with less starting income.
