Following a six-week investigation, Manley was fired in a [[May 2]] letter from the Florida Department of Community Affairs. In the letter, housing and community development Janice Browning instructed Manley "not to return to work at the Front Porch Florida program office in Pensacola, nor may you provide services on a voluntary basis."<ref>[http://pnj.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070504/NEWS01/705040334/1006 State fires Front Porch liaison] - Pensacola News Journal, May 4, 2007</ref> The state is continuing their investigation and may hold Manley liable for missing funds and other damages.
On [[July 24]], [[2007]], the program was reactivated by the Florida Office of Urban Opportunity, but with major organizational changes:<ref>"Front Porch Pensacola saved." ''Pensacola News Journal'', July 25, 2007.</ref>
*The community liaison position will be eliminated by [[2008]].
*State funds will be reduced and eventually eliminated, forcing chapters to become self-sufficient.
*An entirely new group of council members and officers, who live outside the Front Porch community, will be elected.
