Hi Jayan12,

The word "house," which is normally a noun, is instead being used as a verb in the sentence you quoted. Here is the entry for this verb usage taken from The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (Fourth Edition):

VERB:Inflected forms: housed, hous·ing, hous·es
(houz) TRANSITIVE VERB:1. To provide living quarters for; lodge: The cottage housed ten students. 2. To shelter, keep, or store in or as if in a house: a library housing rare books. 3. To contain; harbor. 4. To fit into a socket or mortise. 5. Nautical To secure or stow safely.
