Provide accommodation for kid (4,2)
I believe the answer is:
take in
'kid' is the definition.
(I know that kid is a more specific form of the action take in)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
(Other definitions for take in that I've seen before include "Deceive or understand" , "Fraud" , "Shelter - hoodwink" , "Cheat" , "Register (information)" .)
