Requires: (1) grant evaluations to consider the impact of program funds on children, homeless families, and the elderly poor; and (2) evaluation results to be submitted annually to appropriate congressional committees. Authorizes the Secretary to fund national conferences, newsletters, and information collection and dissemination as part of such grant program's training activities. Gives priority to rural community assistance programs under the special emphasis program on rural housing and community facilities development. Directs the Secretary to: (1) appoint an Advisory Panel to hold a national conference on the problems of poverty; and (2) reserve a specified amount from administrative expenses for such purpose. Authorizes the Secretary to make matching grants for demonstration projects dealing with poverty problems common to a number of communities. Permits grants to be made only for projects which: (1) can be closely coordinated with ongoing programs; (2) involve significant new resource combinations or partnership agreements; or (3) will promote the purposes of the Community Services Block Grant Act.
