Homeless tile fitter for whom living is a daily grind? (6)

I believe the answer is:

miller

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

'homeless tile fitter' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'living is a daily grind?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'grind?' could be 'mill' (milling is a kind of grinding) and 'mill' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'er' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for whom' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
