Money is also useful for other measures, such as access to food & housing. I'd prefer a person with no economic value still be able to access commodities that do have economic value.

Access to food and housing have economic value; that's why they cost money.

That doesn't mean you can't give people money or housing; again, you'd just be valuing them on something other than their economic output.
