Focus on party that provides temporary refuge (9,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reception centre

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

'provides temporary refuge' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'focus on party' is the wordplay.
'focus' becomes 'centre' (synonyms).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'party' becomes 'reception' (reception is a kind of party).
'centre' put after 'reception' is 'RECEPTION CENTRE'.

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for reception centre that I've seen is " temporary shelter".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
