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 financial transaction is an FHA-insured loan, it means it is backed by them. The FHA does not provide funds to borrowers. Rather, it provides lenders with safety by offering mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her financial obligations. The FHA and their loan programs are built to aid low-to-moderate income consumers by easing credit requirements. Remember that the lending organization approving a loan backed by the FHA is authorized to select which appraisers they work with, different from VA appraisal panel.

The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. Those with lower incomes or less starting funds to put down on a financial transaction are helped the most from Federal Housing Administration loan programs.
