An FHA loan is backed by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal agency that is a part of 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 make sure that the mortgage is paid for in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. Low-income and moderate-income homebuyers benefit from an FHA-secured loan; the purpose of the Federal Housing Administration is to aid credit-worthy potential buyers to meet expectations and qualifications for lenders that they otherwise would not.

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 capital to put down on a loan benefit the most from Federal Housing Administration loan programs.
