The National Housing Act of 1934 created the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), which was established primarily to increase home construction, reduce unemployment, and operate various loan insurance programs. The FHA makes no loans, nor does it plan or build houses.
In 1965, the FHA became part of HUD. The FHA is not a mortgage lender. Instead, its primary role is to insure mortgages FHA-approved lenders provide home buyers. One to four-unit residential properties, manufactured homes and hospitals are all included in the FHA program. As of 2012, the FHA had insured more than 34 million properties, making it the world's largest mortgage insurer.
