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). None of the funds are provided by the FHA; what the FHA does is make sure that the loan is secure in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. Low-income and moderate-income consumers benefit from an FHA-secured loan; the purpose of the Federal Housing Administration is to cooperate with credit-worthy buyers to meet expectations and requirements for lending agencies that 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 funds to put down on a mortgage are assisted the most from FHA loan programs.
