Because they are not as left wing as sourcewatch?
Because they have gotten funding from various sources? Why not list all the sources that think their work is important:
Gradually, Urban's research and funding base broadened. In 2013, federal government contracts provided about 54% of Urban's operating funds, private foundations another 30%, and nonprofits, corporations and corporate foundations, state and local governments, international organizations and foreign entities, individuals, and Urban's endowment the rest.[5] Some of Urban's more than 100 private sponsors and funders include the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation.[6]

But hey, if it doesn't support confirmation bias, then it's not worth anything. See also, climate change deniers.
