Try this command string to obtain your custom fact for $home_user:
getent passwd | grep <username> | cut -f6 -d':'
Be aware though, that you may experience extreme lag if you have a
faulty authentication service (NIS, LDAP, whatever).
There's probably a better way to do it, but that will at least be accurate.
