Do we know if Arnold & Porter recruits via the direct TC route (given that they have 4 spots only)?

I have vac scheme at bird and bird but I currently live in Leeds and my family live in Durham, so I was wondering if anyone knows if firms, or even specifically bird and bird, historically provide accommodation or funds for accommodation for those who can't commute in?

I would directly reach out to the firm about this. I know some firms provide some support for accomodation
