IIRC "getting kicked out of their homes" is not a thing during an official state of emergency, it shouldn't be possible to evict renters for nonpayment right now. The same should apply for mortgage foreclosures, penalty interest/late fees on loans, etc - so if you can't pay these things because of the emergency consequences, you simply don't pay.
We need to tackle the financial consequences of the related economic crisis, but that can be done afterwards when all of this is over; right now what matters is tackling health issues and also the immediate financial issues of people being able to obtain core goods and services - and $1000 per person can buy a decent amount of food and necessities; let's sort out the rent debts when there's a vaccine available.
