If your home loan is FHA certified, that means that it has been guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration, which is a branch of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The FHA does not provide funds to borrowers, rather, it provides lenders with protection with mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay his or her financial obligations. Available to all consumers, FHA loan programs are created to help credit-worthy low-income and moderate-income families who do not have the qualifications for conventional loans.

The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. Buyers with lower income or less starting capital to put down on a loan are helped the most from FHA loan programs.
