To infinitives as an adjective or adverb?

The government is injecting its 16 billion U.S. dollars of emergency funds that the outbreak is having on the economy.


This is a long time issue I have had and I hope this will be the last question about it this time.


I feel like ‘to help ease the burden...’ modifies ‘emergency funds‘ as an adjective phrase or ‘is injecting‘ as an adverb phrase, but there is no meaning difference.


Sometimes, I think that ‘to infinitives’ functions as an adjective or adverb phrase at the same time but there is not much or no meaning difference.


What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance.
