An FHA loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal agency that is a part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The FHA does not provide funds to borrowers, rather, it provides lending organizations with safety through mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay his or her loan obligations. Applicable to all homebuyers, FHA loan programs are created 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 excessively useful to consumers with less starting capital.
