FHA Mortgage Insurance
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) insures mortgage loans for the construction, purchase, and improvement of
homes. FHA-insured mortgages allow veterans to borrow with minimum down payments and over
longer periods of time. Application is made directly to any FHA-approved lender; the lender
usually serves as the homebuyer's contact with FHA throughout the loan approval
process.
Any local HUD field office can provide additional information; look in your
local telephone directory for the office nearest you.
