At Hatch End, some arrangement for housing (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

homes

'housing' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'at hatch end some arrangement' is the wordplay.
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'end' suggests the final letters.
'arrangement' indicates an anagram.
The final letter of 'hatch' is 'h'.
'some' is an anagram of 'omes'.
'h'+'omes' is 'HOMES'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for homes that I've seen before include "Dwellings, abodes" , "accommodation" , "Dwellings, houses" , "Domiciles" , "Dwelling-places" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
