Happy to direct how refugees are often accommodated (9)
I believe the answer is:
contented
'happy' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)
'direct how refugees are often accommodated' is the wordplay.
'direct' becomes 'con' (con can mean to direct a ship).
'how refugees are often accommodated' becomes 'tented' (as in refugee camps).
'con'+'tented'='CONTENTED'
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for contented that I've seen before include "Feeling satisfied" , "'Satisfied, relaxed and happy (9)'" , "Satisfied with things as they are" , "Not decent (anag) - cheerful" .)
