Explanation:
I believe this might be what you're looking for.

Another alternative would be "assists", though I'm not entirely sure that would be the ideal term. (At least from what was given as context)

Hope it helps! :)

I think it really depends on what the context is. If we're talking about accessibility then I would go either with accomodate or "provides access to", something along those lines.

On the other hand, if we're talking about a place that is going to provide shelter or anything of the sort, I would go with "take in" or "house".

It could also be something along the lines of government or general help for people with disabilities, which would make me inclined to go with "assists".

  -> Thank you, Edith!
agree  Tony M: Could be: but note this is not necessarily 'accommodates' in that sense of 'housing, providing accommodation for' — it could simply mean 'can have the facilities to receive them' (e.g. ramps for wheelchairs etc.)

  -> Thanks for the agree, Tony! Yeah, I thought about that as well. Perhaps with a bit more context it would be easier to determine.
