The First Nations/Métis/Inuit Mobility Study examined the pattern of mobility and service use among Aboriginal peoples recently moving to Winnipeg. Study participants were interviewed three times in a fifteen-month period to measure changes in their living arrangements and service use. The results point to a slow transition progress, along with an increase in the number of respondents who were unable to find suitable housing. The findings suggest that support is needed at two critical junctures. First, and perhaps most important, is when people initially arrive in the city. It is absolutely critical that there be assistance available to connect people in need to the services required, especially housing. Although many came to Winnipeg for other reasons, housing became the single most important service required when persons first arrived. One of the more troubling findings was that once persons entered the city and remained, they faced a 50/50 chance of finding a place of their own, and this ratio did not change over the course of the research. The second critical point where help is most needed is during the first few months of living in the city, where increased residential instability was observed. Over the three surveys, people moved extensively, and into larger households with five or more persons. The reason for this increased level of intra-city movement was the result of either a direct housing shortage or an affordability problem. It is believed that these issues contributed directly to the spatial concentration of persons into the inner city, where rents best matched the available incomes of respondents. In each successive survey, over 80% of respondents remained living within the inner city of Winnipeg.
