If your home loan is FHA insured, that means that the loan has been guaranteed by the FHA, which is underneath the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The lending company provides all the loaned money; the FHA simply insures the transaction through mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan. The FHA and their loan programs are formed to aid low-to-moderate income homebuyers help meet credit expectations if 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. FHA loan programs are particularly helpful to those buyers with less available starting capital.
