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 loan, it means it is insured by them. The lender provides all the money in the loan; the FHA simply secures the transaction with mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan. Low-income and moderate-income homebuyers benefit from an FHA-insured loan; the purpose of the Federal Housing Administration is to aid credit-worthy potential buyers to meet expectations and requirements for lending organizations that they otherwise would not.

The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. FHA loan programs are incredibly helpful to those homebuyers with less available starting capital.
