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 insured by them. The FHA does not loan funds to borrowers, rather, it provides lending organizations with protection by offering mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay his or her loan obligations. Available to all buyers, FHA loan programs are made 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. FHA loan programs are extremely helpful to those buyers with less available cash.
