        (5) the extent to which the proposed funding for the supportive 
    services is or will be available;
        (6) the extent to which the project would meet the needs of the 
    homeless persons proposed to be served by the program;
        (7) the extent to which the program integrates program 
    recipients into the community served by the program;
        (8) the cost-effectiveness of the proposed program; and
        (9) such other factors as the Secretary specifies in regulations 
    to be appropriate for purposes of carrying out the program 
    established by this part in an effective and efficient manner.

(b) Funding limitation

    No more than 10 percent of the assistance made available under this 
part for any fiscal year may be used for programs located within any one 
unit of general local government.

(c) Participation of homeless individuals

    The Secretary shall, by regulation, require each recipient to 
provide for the consultation and participation of not less than one 
homeless individual or former homeless individual on the board of 
directors or other equivalent policymaking entity of the recipient, to 
the extent that such entity considers and makes policies and decisions 
regarding any housing assisted under this part or services for such

the requirement under the preceding sentence if the recipient agrees to 
otherwise consult with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in 
considering and making such policies and decisions.
