State officials are criticizing the Marin County Board of Supervisors for ending controversial negotiations to buy a Novato hotel for apartments for the homeless.

In a letter to the board, California Housing and Community Development Director Gustavo Velasquez said the decision not to proceed with purchasing Inn Marin and Suites was “very troubling” given the time and the $11.9 million in funding the state was willing to provide to complete the deal.
