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 funds are provided by the FHA; what the FHA does is ensure that the loan is paid for in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan obligations. The FHA and their loan programs are formed to help low-to-moderate income buyers help meet credit requirements if they otherwise would not.

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