The $341 million Consumers Credit Union has become the latest to start offering its members mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration. FHA insured mortgages are popular with many home buyers because of their more favorable terms.

"And, because the loan is backed by the federal government, we're able to provide financing to buyers with varying circumstances and sometimes challenged credit."
