FHA — Federal Housing Administration

Parent: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Domains in this note: hud.gov.

What they regulate

FHA (within HUD) insures mortgages on single-family and multifamily properties meeting program rules. Mortgage brokers and lenders still need applicable state/NMLS authority and lender approvals. A directory row is not FHA lender approval or a broker licence. Indexed ≠ endorsed.

Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.

How to verify

  1. FHA / HUD FHA — FHA mortgage insurance programs — not a standalone state mortgage-broker licence database.
  2. HUD home — Housing programs and HUD policy context.

Is FHA the same as Ginnie Mae?

No. FHA insures loans; Ginnie Mae guarantees certain MBS that include government-backed loans.

Is a BrokerMafia agency page an endorsement?

No. Index ≠ endorsement. BrokerMafia is not a government agency and does not issue licenses.
