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). No part of the loan is provided by the FHA; what the FHA does is make sure that the loan is taken care of in case the borrower doesn't pay their loan. The FHA and their loan programs are created to assist low-to-moderate income consumers help meet credit requirements if 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 lower income or less starting capital to use as a down-payment on a financial transaction benefit the most from FHA loan programs.
