Calling model object from a different controller magento

Question

I have one controller, say controller ClassA in {magento_root_dir}/app/code/core/Mage/Contacts/controllers and one model object, say ModelB in

{magento_root_dir}/app/code/local/Homeliv/Leads/controllers.

Now I need to access ModelB from ClassA, so that I can save modelB in database.

I have done this:

            $lead = Mage::getModel('local/homeliv/leads/homelivleads');
            $lead->setName('Code Post!');
            $lead->setEmail('This post was created from code!');
            $lead->setMobile(9999);
            $lead->save();

Its throwing error. What I am doing wrong here?

config.xml

    <modules>
        <Homeliv_Leads>

            need to create our own resource, can't just
            use core_resource
            -->

        </leads>

If you have created a separate model here "app/code/local/Homeliv/Leads/Model/", then you can use

$lead = Mage::getModel('leads/homelivleads');
