An FHA loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal organization that is a part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). None of the funds are provided by the FHA; what the FHA does is make sure that the mortgage is insured in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. Low-income and moderate-income homebuyers benefit from an FHA-backed financial transaction; the point of the Federal Housing Administration is to cooperate with credit-worthy buyers to meet expectations and requirements for lending organizations that they otherwise would not.

Down payments are often lower with an FHA loan despite using conventional market rates. Those with lower income or less starting capital to use as a down-payment on a financial transaction benefit the most from Federal Housing Administration loan programs.
