well I've found the selinux list to be a much better place to get help
with selinux stuff than this list but I would expect that if you had put
drupal stuff into /var/www and made a soft link in /home to that
directory you would have not had any issues with selinux at all. If you
try to move the files now, I would suspect that they would have to be
relabeled since they probably have home contexts and not html contexts
(man restorecon) and that would have to be fixed. I think you can also
set a boolean operator to tell it that you are serving html pages from
users home directories but I'm not sure from your description that you
actually have drupal in a users folder.
