Elements sound like the right thing, but you can always use a model anywhere you like, and Cake does some really nice magic for you in most cases where you'd want to do this.
Sounds like you are wanting to get some specific data displayed on your home page, which would involve adding the models to your app controller (haven't ever tried this myself, outside of Auth data). Chris Hartjes has a nice article on his blog where he debunks Cake myths, and shows you how to use multiple models in a controller (see http://www.littlehart.net/atthekeyboard/).
