An FHA loan is secured by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal organization 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 ensure that the mortgage is insured in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. The FHA and their loan programs are designed to assist low-to-moderate income homebuyers help meet credit requirements 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 purchasers with less accessible funding.
