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

'it allows you to exhibit just' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'house-proud you are' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'house' could be 'home' (homing is a kind of housing) and 'home' is found in the answer.
'are' could be 'a' (the 'are' is a metric unit of area) and 'a' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'how' acts as a link.
