Are BLM donations being used to pay for these homes? Where is the money that BLM takes in coming from? How is it being spent?

Here try this:

From the article below

"Last month AP reported that BLM brought in $90 million in donations last year, leading to Michael Brown Sr. to join other Black Lives Matter activists demanding $20 million from the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation.

Brown, whose son Michael Brown Jr., was killed by police in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014 says he and his advocacy group have been short-changed by the larger BLM organization.

'Why hasn't my family's foundation received any assistance from the movement?' Brown asked in a statement."
