If your house loan is FHA approved, that means that the loan has been secured by the Federal Housing Administration, which is a branch of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The lending organization provides all the money in the loan; the FHA simply insures the transaction through mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay off his or her loan. The FHA and their loan programs are formed to aid low-to-moderate income buyers help meet credit qualifications 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 useful to those homebuyers with less accessible starting capital.
