Fresno contact-center changes March 4; Sanger pop-up March 5; courts March 30

The County of Fresno posted a notice on March 4 that it will implement temporary changes to its contact center, and the message lists multiple community pop-up events including a Sanger pop-up scheduled for March 5. The county’s notice lists the two phone lines used for eligibility inquiries — (559) 600-1377 and toll-free 1-855-832-8082 — and states callers “will not be able to reach an eligibility worker and automated servi” in the excerpt provided; the county text in the posting is truncated and does not include full details on the scope or timing of the automated-service disruption.

The county notice names the Sanger pop-up for March 5 but provides no street address, hours, specific services, or whether appointments are required in the excerpt available. The posting indicates there are “multiple community pop‑ups” beyond Sanger; the county did not include additional site-by-site details in the supplied excerpt. Residents who rely on eligibility-line assistance or who planned to attend pop-up events should seek the full county notice for exact addresses, hours and the list of services offered at each community site.

Separately, the Fresno Superior Court announced a one-day operational consolidation on March 30, 2026 tied to its transition to a new case management system. The court’s news release states, “Due to the transition to a new case management system, the Fresno Superior Court hereby announces its proposal to temporarily consolidate cases and all essential hearings to be heard only in the Main Courthouse and the Juvenile Justice Courthouse, on the following date: March 30, 2026.” On that date the Court says clerk’s offices will also be consolidated into the two locations listed.

The release specifies the operational status for March 30: Main Courthouse, 1100 Van Ness Ave., will be open for Criminal and Dependency matters; Juvenile Justice Courthouse, 3333 E. American Ave., will be open for Juvenile Justice. The Court lists several locations that will be closed for the day: Jail Annex Departments 95 & 96 at 1265 “M” St.; B.F. Sisk Courthouse, 1130 “O” St. (Civil/Family/Self‑Help Center); and the “M” Street Courthouse, 2317 Tuolumne St. (Traffic).

The court release frames the March 30 consolidation as a one-day measure “to ensure that all data properly converted over, that all filings submitted in the work queues have been processed and that the new system is functioning properly and efficiently before opening all clerk’s offices to the public,” and says the closure will allow staff to “trouble shoot and correct any potential issues with the conversion.” The release does not list which individual dockets or case numbers will move, nor does it state how parties with scheduled appearances at the closed locations will be notified.
