If your home loan is FHA approved, that means that the loan has been secured by the FHA, which is underneath the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The lending company takes care of all the funds being borrowed - the FHA simply backs the transaction through mortgage insurance in case the borrower defaults on his or her loan. Low-income and moderate-income borrowers benefit the most from FHA-secured loan programs.
