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 secured by them. The lender takes care of all the money in the loan; the FHA simply backs the loan through mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay off his or her loan. Applicable 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. FHA loan programs are extremely helpful to those buyers with less available funding.
