There are several reasons why the home button on an Apple TV remote may not be working properly, here are some possible causes and solutions:

Battery Issues: The remote requires a battery to function, so if the battery is low or dead, the home button will not work. Try replacing the batteries in the remote or recharging the battery if the remote is rechargeable.
Connection Issues: If the remote is not properly connected to the Apple TV, the home button may not work. Try resetting the remote by holding down the menu and volume up buttons for 6 seconds, or unplugging the Apple TV and plugging it back in.
Software Issues: The home button may not work if the software on the Apple TV is outdated or corrupt. Try updating the software on the Apple TV by going to the "Settings" menu, then "System" and "Software Updates".
Hardware Issues: If the home button is physically damaged or not working properly, it may need to be repaired or replaced.
Remote pairing issues: Sometimes, the remote and the Apple TV may not be paired properly, to fix this try to unpair the remote and pair it again by going to settings -> Remotes and Devices -> Remote App and Devices -> Learn Remote -> Press and hold the menu button on the remote.
Cleaning: Clean the home button and the remote in general, if there is dust or debris that may be preventing the button from working properly.

If none of the above solutions work, you may want to contact Apple for further assistance or a replacement remote.
