[[Front Porch Pensacola]] (formally the '''Greater Pensacola Front Porch, Inc.''') is the local arm of a state agency, '''The Governor's Front Porch Florida Initiative''', that was created by Governor Jeb Bush in [[1999]] "as a means to rebuild distressed communities [and] revitalize underserved communities."<ref>[http://www.floridacommunitydevelopment.org/fpf/ Front Porch Florida homepage]</ref> It operates under the State of Florida's Office of Urban Opportunity with a mission to eliminate urban blight. The Pensacola branch was established in October, [[1999]] through the efforts of [[Johnny Crawford]].

*Between 2005-2006, Manley took approximately $19,490 in payments from the [[Escambia County Health Department]] — meant for a "Mentoring Moms" program that matches young pregnant women with professional black mentors — by issuing cashier's checks to herself from the Front Porch account after depositing each $1,624 monthly payment.<ref name="pnj-032707"/>

*Manley leased Building "C" of the [[Long Hollow]] Community Center to a third party for $600. She then "gave a third to the Long Hollow Neighborhood Association, deposited a third in her own bank account and kept a third in the Front Porch account," in apparent accordance with the "30%" policy she believed was granted in 2002. However, Front Porch leases the building for $1/year from the Long Hollow Neighborhood Association, which in turn leases it from the City of Pensacola for $1/year, and no other leases are allowed with City permission, which Manley did not obtain.<ref name="pnj-032707"/>
