There are far too many people at risk of becoming homeless for nothing to happen. Even if the pandemic is solved and everyone got a 100% reliable vaccine within the next couple months, unless back-rent is forgiven, written off, or paid for by the government, we are almost certainly going to see angry underemployed people out on the streets when the weather gets warmer again, with the likeliest casus belli/"final straw" being more racist police violence. Debt relief and free housing for the homeless and rent-burdened are the only way to guarantee the pot doesn't boil over again next year like it briefly did last June, and even that might not be enough without something closely approaching M4A.
