An FHA loan is secured by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal agency that is a part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The FHA does not loan capital to borrowers, rather, it provides lending organizations with safety by offering mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay his or her loan obligations. Low-income and moderate-income homebuyers benefit from an FHA-insured financial transaction; the point of the Federal Housing Administration is to aid credit-worthy buyers to meet expectations and necessities for lending agencies that they otherwise would not.

The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. FHA loan programs are particularly beneficial to those consumers with less accumulated starting capital.
