The FHA is the Federal Housing Administration, which is a federal organization in the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) - if your financial transaction is an FHA-secured loan, it means it is underwritten by them. The lending organization takes care of all the money in the loan; the FHA simply backs the transaction by providing mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan. The FHA and their loan programs are designed to assist low-to-moderate income buyers help meet credit expectations if they otherwise would not.
