This is the kind of concept a utilitarian would agree on. If the result is positive for a large group of people, we should seriously consider doing it.
However, I would like to comment on this concept. In my opinion (and that's what you're asking for) there are situations in which the ends don't justify the means. You can e.g. think about mass-bombings to fight against terrorism. However, the possibility exists that innocent people will be hit, and will die. Therefore, the end don't always justify the means (in my opinion).
I do not want to look pessimist, but I sincerely don't think that's possible. Poverty is caused by many different factors, that depend on things the society can't change, at least not the way we tried to do it.
Poverty depends greatly on the political systems we have nowadays, because if political systems where "correct" maybe everybody would have a home and an income, but millionaires wouldn't be millionaires.
We should also not blame only politicians, because we as a society also affect how poverty works. I will not give my opinion on this though, because it depends greatly on how one thinks. Many think society hasn't done anything wrong, and others think different factors within society are to be blamed. It's a very controversial area.
