Because shipping everything through space is likely not possible, and redicilously expensive and so on. Not like most of refugees can pay up. I understand if bretonia had peaceful decade where she could invest into something like this. But even then billions is super realistic.
I dont know why Bretonia is hosting all those refugees locally. Could use a part for colonization projects and force the others into the other houses. Its just expensive upkeep for the government that brings nothing. Internal refugees are never good for economy or social stability.
As for cambridge, well, then either New London and other houses or play a nice civil conflict between refugees and local elite. Could be more interesting.
Social welfare exists, y'know. There are countries who take care of their own, and so are people with great jury rigging skills. Like: power can be easily provided by solar panels (desert world) or repurposed ship reactors, not to mention said ships breaken down can make extra housing. Even current day technologies are avaliable, container houses, and concrete printing are extremely cheap. Concrete isn't something hard to make either.
People have a pretty shit existence there probably, but considering Leeds' average lifespan was 50-something, I'd call it an improvement
