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 loan, it means it is underwritten by them. No part of the loan is provided by the FHA; what the FHA does is make sure that the mortgage is paid for in case the borrower doesn't pay their loan. Low-income and moderate-income consumers benefit from an FHA-insured loan; the point of the Federal Housing Administration is to assist credit-worthy consumers to meet expectations and necessities for lenders 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. FHA loan programs are particularly beneficial to those homebuyers with less available starting capital.
