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 loan, it means it is underwritten by them. None of the funds are provided by the FHA; what the FHA does is make sure that the mortgage is insured in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. The FHA and their loan programs are created to assist low-to-moderate income purchasers help meet credit expectations if they otherwise would not.

Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. FHA loan programs are extremely beneficial to those buyers with less available cash.
