The Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment
One of the major changes in Perkins V is the requirement for local agencies to conduct a Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment (CLNA). The CLNA will serve as the basis for local Perkins application development and future decision making. Agencies are expected to conduct their first CLNA in the 2019-20 program year, with the results incorporated in their 2020-21 application. Thereafter, the CLNA is to be conducted at a minimum every two years.
