Often it is money, not willingness. A committee with no fund cannot buy a part. One arrangement is a small regular payment from each household, collected before anything breaks.

Collecting in advance is easier to keep going than raising money in an emergency.

So a plan that budgets for training and has no fund is missing the important part.
