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-insured loan, it means it is underwritten by them. The lending company provides all the money in the loan; the FHA simply insures the loan by providing mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay off his or her loan. The FHA and their loan programs are formed to help low-to-moderate income buyers help meet credit qualifications if 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. Buyers with lesser income or less starting money to put down on a loan are assisted the most from Federal Housing Administration loan programs.
