Took commando to CIA, changed and found housing (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

accommodation

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

'housing' is the definition.
(accommodation is a kind of housing)

'took commando to cia changed and' is the wordplay.
'commando to cia' can be anagrammed to 'ACCOMMODATION'.
However, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'found' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for accommodation that I've seen before include "Loan" , "somewhere to live" , "Lodgings - compromise" , "Digs" , "settlement" .)
