A large chunk of society has severe goal metric substitution with money. Any scheme to solve problems that starts with the application of money or measures success in money raised or spent is a victim of this mentality.
Don't ask how much was spent or raised helping the homeless. Ask how many meals or nights in beds were provided.
The same rules apply to any minimum income subsidy or welfare. The same rules apply to your life and budget. The assets are the real goal so the assets need to be your real measure.
