Belief of refugee finally making it into temporary accommodation (5)

I believe the answer is:

tenet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'belief' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'it into temporary accommodation' is the wordplay.
'it' becomes 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT').
'into' is an insertion indicator.
'temporary accommodation' becomes 'tent' (people stay in a tent temporarily).
'e' placed within 'tent' is 'TENET'.

'of refugee finally making' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tenet that I've seen before include "A belief or creed - a palindrome" , "Rule" , "Belief held as true" , "Canon" , "A religious doctrine proclaimed as true without proof" .)
