An FHA loan is underwritten by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal organization that is a part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The lender provides all the money in the loan; the FHA simply backs the loan through mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan. Low-income and moderate-income consumers benefit from an FHA-secured financial transaction; the point of the Federal Housing Administration is to cooperate with credit-worthy buyers to meet expectations and necessities for lenders that they otherwise would not.

Typically, a buyer has to pay less of a down payment on an FHA-insured loan, while the rates remain standard market rates. The loan programs that the FHA offers are exceedingly useful to buyers with less starting income.
