What is the best way to create multiple views with different models using the backbone boilerplate? It seems like things are set up to render individual pages, but not to render multiple resources simultaneously.

I think I am understanding you correctly, but please let me know if I am not. Backbone shines in SPA’s (Single Page Apps). I am not saying that it should only be used for an SPA. If you start thinking of views as sections on a single page, I think Backbone starts to make more sense. So when your model updates or changes, the section/view is being re-rendered and not the entire page.
Look at the Trello and read this article http://blog.fogcreek.com/the-trello-tech-stack/ – especially the part on Backbone. I think the above will answer your question more thoroughly.
