i have a hero subscription that runs out in January and i am about to run home-brew campaign do i need to upgrade the subscription to run the campaign as the DM
The short answer is no. You do not have to have a paid subscription to run a game. You can still share your purchased books within the campaign. It just allows you to have more than three campaigns in your account at a time.
But truthfully you don't need DnDbeyond to play DnD. It's just a digital tool.

This is not correct on a key issue highlighted in quote. Content sharing is a key feature of the master tier. If you want to share DDB purchased content or DDB purchased books you or someone in the campaign needs to have the Master tier. I honestly am not sure how homebrew content gets shared within a campaign, but if you want to share anything for which you're relying on the books you bought on DDB, someone in the campaign needs the master tier.
It's right there listed on the Master tier product subscription.
Anyone can run a game as a DM, you only really need a subscription at all for the unlimited character slots, and you only need a Master Tier subscription to be able to activate content sharing for a campaign. But the DM need not be the same person who activates content sharing.
