Arranges report for homes (5)
I believe the answer is:
setts
'homes' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'arranges report' is the wordplay.
'arranges' becomes 'sets' (setting is a kind of arranging).
'report' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'sets' is a homophone of 'SETTS'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for setts that I've seen is " Badgers' burrows".)
