If she's a binbougami, she could live with Reiga and not bother the miko. Or get exorcised / enslaved
Yes, she's a binbougami ala Yorigami Shion.
(Well, nothing 100% definite, but she's a goddess, wears shabby clothes, and has a name starting with "bin...", so...)

If you worship a god of poverty, do you receive blessings or curses?
Well, you may be blessed, as the fables go. It is the inherent nature (like the scorpion's, using a Western analogy) of a binbougami to bring misfortune though, despite not being actively malicious. Showing genuine appreciation and/or hospitality to a binbougami (who's a hard-luck god shunned by everyone; just see Shion) may, however, fill the god with such gratitude that it either willingly leaves, ushering in (a small amount of) fortune in the process, or transform the binbougami into a fukunogami (fortune god), bringing even more fortune.
(May being the operative word here. You could be cursed over a longer period instead, especially if your motives are entirely selfish.)
But, yeah, the standard protocol is to politely ask the binbougami to leave, or to lure the kami away using the smell of baked miso. Binbougami bringing fortune is more of an exception to the general rule (and a moral fable of sorts to exhort others to show hospitality and kindness to the less fortunate).
