Reference for Ketubot 212:14

בשל הקדש מאי טעמא לא אין עניות במקום עשירות בשל עניים מאי טעמא לא דלמא מתרמי להו עניא וליכא למיתבא ליה:

Why is it prohibited to make a profit with sacred funds? There must be no poverty where there is wealth. Why is it prohibited to make a profit with property of the poor? — Because a poor man might come unexpectedly and there would be nothing to give him.
