Like how here says, you can install Homestead directly into your project, require it using this composer require laravel/homestead --dev at root directory of each project you have. Now by make command you can generate Vagrantfile and Homestead.yaml file into your project's root directory.

• Mac/Linux:

  php vendor/bin/homestead make
  

• Windows:

  vendor\bin\homestead make
  

On each project root you will have a Homestead.yaml file to edit:

• Project-A

  ip: "192.168.10.10"
  ...
  folders:
      - map: "~/Code/projecta"
        to: "/home/vagrant/projecta"
  sites:
      - map: project.a
        to: "/home/vagrant/projecta/public"
  

• Project-B

  ip: "192.168.10.10"
  ...
  folders:
      - map: "~/Code/projectb"
        to: "/home/vagrant/projectb"
  sites:
      - map: project.b
        to: "/home/vagrant/projectb/public"
  

Add this to /etc/hosts:

    192.168.10.10 project.a
    192.168.10.10 project.b

Then you have to cd to each project's root and vagrant up. Now if you vagrant ssh from each project, you will have that project in your VM environment.
