NOAH is an acronym for Naturally Occuring Affordable Housing.
Steve King proposes an alternative term HAUTMSS:
"As a corrective to the benign and misleading phrase NOAH, I propose HAUTMSS (Housing Affordable Until the Market Speculation Starts; suggested pronunciation: “hot mess”) as a more appropriate term."
