We use the plural "lives" and "homes" because the subject "they" is plural. Because "they" are more than one person, they have more than one life and more than one home. But if "they" were all members of one family who lived together in a single home, you could say "They were going to their home."

Because we are not talking about one person. The sentence uses 'they' so we know we are talking about more than one person.
