An FHA loan is insured by the Federal Housing Administration, a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The lending organization provides all the finances; the FHA simply secures the loan by providing mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan. The FHA and their loan programs are created to aid low-to-moderate income consumers help meet credit expectations if they otherwise would not.
