Faktum is sold on the street by poor and homeless in Gothenburg The \"rooms,\" which include a dirty mattress beneath a bridge, a sleeping bag in a park and a floor lined with newspaper at an abandoned mill. \"Few actually make it through the night and we had a very cold, harsh winter. But some really tried, with one woman managing to stay for about four hours,\" Israelson said. Israelson said the aim of the project is not to make money. Our primary mission is to spread the word about the homeless situation in this city. Gothenburg is a tough place to be homeless,\" Israelson said.
