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-insured loan, it means it is insured by them. The FHA does not loan capital to borrowers, rather, it provides lending agencies with protection by offering mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her financial obligations. Available to all homebuyers, FHA loan programs are made to aid credit-worthy low-income and moderate-income families who do not have the qualifications for conventional loans.

Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. The loan programs that the FHA provides are extremely helpful to buyers with less starting income.
