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 loan is an FHA-secured loan, it means it is secured by them. No part of the loan is provided by the FHA; what the FHA does is ensure that the mortgage is secure in case the borrower doesn't pay their loan. Applicable to all buyers, FHA loan programs are built to aid credit-worthy low-income and moderate-income families who do not meet requirements for conventional loans.

The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. Buyers with lesser income or less starting funds to put down on a loan benefit the most from FHA loan programs.
