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 secured by them. The FHA does not loan funds to borrowers, rather, it provides lending organizations with protection through mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. Low-income and moderate-income homebuyers benefit from an FHA-backed loan; the purpose of the Federal Housing Administration is to assist credit-worthy consumers to meet expectations and necessities for lending agencies that they otherwise would not.

Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. FHA loan programs are incredibly useful to those homebuyers with less accessible funding.
