Dishevelled hobo ate with us in home by bank maybe (9)
I believe the answer is:
houseboat
'home by bank maybe' is the definition.
(might be near a riverbank)
'dishevelled hobo ate with us' is the wordplay.
'dishevelled' indicates an anagram.
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'hobo'+'ate'='hoboate'
'hoboate' anagrammed gives 'hoeboat'.
'hoeboat' enclosing 'us' is 'HOUSEBOAT'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for houseboat that I've seen before include "home secured by the bank" , "home to keep afloat" , "Dwelling" , "vessel" , "Floating abode" .)
