UBI will change nothing. People who could benefit are "tidal"-locked in bad economic dependencies. If you live in a trailer park- and recive UBI- all that happens is that the landowner or landlord raises the rent to meet the new income you recive.

Inflationary shifts like this have been shown to balance out pretty well and a UBI will reduce the ridiculousness of the income disparity by devaluing highly concentrated wealth.
