If I left my husband over 2 years ago and he now wants to file for divorce, am I required to provide him with my home address?
He has my parent’s address and my email but is insisting he needs my home address to send my belongings and to file divorce. I plan on filing but haven’t yet. We have no kids and no property of any value. I am very uncomfortable with him knowing where I live.

You can tell him that your permanent address is your parent's address. Any correspondence or property that he has can be mailed there. The court, as some point, may want your address... but if they push, you can raise safety concerns for using your "temporary address" and insist on using your parent's as your "permanent address." It's not unusual for adult children to use their parents as a permanent address. If you are not comfortable giving him your current location, you probably have a good reason-- stick with your gut and to your guns and tell him "no."
