An FHA loan is underwritten by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal organization within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). None of the money in the loan is provided by the FHA; what the FHA does is ensure that the loan is insured in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. Available to all buyers, FHA loan programs are created to assist 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. Those with lower income or less starting money to put down on a financial transaction benefit the most from Federal Housing Administration loan programs.
